By	Robert Busko (Waynesville, NC USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

If you're the type of computer user that can't make heads or tails from the normal computer manual then Moving to Microsoft Windows Vista by John Rizzo is for you. Full of handy information with great color illustrations, Moving to Microsoft Windows Vista will be a book that you actually use.

Chapters include Chapter 1, Prepare to Upgrade; Chapter 2, Install Windows Vista; Chapter 3, Move Files & Settings from Another PC, Chapter 4, Explore Windows Vista; Chapter 5, Personalize the Desktop; Chapter 6, Take Charge of the Start Menu; Chapter 7, Take Charge of the Taskbar; Chapter 8, Navigate Folder Windows; Chapter 9, Sort, Group, & Filter Files; Chapter 10, Secure Your Computer. I especially liked the information Rizzo include on setting parental controls.

I highly recommend.
