Easy-to-follow instructions for novice or higher computer user. Good coverage of basics, arranged well, and important changes in this operating system from Windows XP/Vista highlighted. Simple enough, yet comprehensive instructions usable by new computer users as well as those moving up from a previous version of Windows. Highly recommended as a "first" Windows 7 text.
