4.0 out of 5 stars vista operating system, July 20, 2007

By	Howard Davis "HOWARD D" (SATELLITE BEACH FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fairly good book. Covers the obvious but ignores many of problems of Vista. I went to Google, mentioned the problem and found out it was a common problem. Someone had the solution which worked. More emphasis should have been given to the differences between XP and Vista

Nothing special about this. If your going from XP to Vista only buy this if it is cheap. You will not learn much. Mine came from Smokey Mountain books (150 miles) at a slower than slow time. Stay away from this vendor!
