An excellent reference for the novice as well as the intermediate user. It is extremely easy to use and is clear and precise in all instructions with excellent illustrations to guide the user through the various procedures. I wish I had a book this well written when I started with Windows 3.0! Since then I have used the XP and Vista editions of "Easy Computer Basics" to great satisfaction.

Very helpful book. I went from XP to 7 and it was a bit of a learning curve but this book is very helpful and would be ideal for first timers on the computer.
