We were very pleased with this product. The book and DVD are easy-to-use resources for people who do not want to digest the entire system in one sitting.

Purchased this item and disappointed because does not provide a reference for trouble shooting, for example, it does not include a section on compatiblity. That section allows games to work from XP to Vista. Had to go to Yarnold's "Windows Vista Tip and Tricks", which I recommend. Dummies is a good source for beginners but not for problem solutions.

Bought for my mom so she can learn about computers and how they work. She liked the fact that the dvd was informitive and explained some things she did not know about. It also came with a book that she could follow along with and use the dvd to look stuff up or to be more desciptive.

There is a lot of info in this and is good guide when you have time to sit down and do what it says. I like it as a reference.

This is a greast combo deal to get you started with Vista. Plus the DVD made it easier for the wife to understand.

Just what I needed to tame down the move from XP to Vista. I am a very senior citizen and I need plain english to ease the pain from the crash of my XP computer to a new one with Vista. This book really took out the bumps.

I don't really know to much about windows and this is great. it gives me alot of information that I can easiely follow. The cd rom makes even better. I would reccommend this to anyone.

I was dead set against Vista due to users comments and my new computer came with Vista instead of XP which I have learned to use! I thought that the only way to sort it out was to get one of the "For dummies" books, which I hve been buying since "DOS for Dummies" ( I have Windows XP for Dummies" too - at the time I thought XP was unwieldy). I have already solved various (apparent)problems thanks to "Vista for Dummies", which are due to lack of knowledge and being rather hide-bound. I still haven't cracked it all but am well on my way, and very happy with the book, as it has had answers to all of my doubts up to now.

After years of using XP I needed somthing to help me, so Windows Vista for Dummies is the best way to go.

Book came with a DVD; both concise and easy to read and absorb. They have helped this computer novice greatly.
