For this item, I wasn't too thrilled,

This review is from: Windows Vista Just the Steps For Dummies (Paperback)
I have bought lots of "for Dummies" series books in the past, but this one tops them all on the negative feedback-issue. I knew the steps involved in doing stuff they mentioned that were specifically fit for the Windows Vista system only-I had known them from previous versions. If you haven't had a computer before, period, this book should do just well in your household. You'll learn a lot of things that you didn't know before you had your new computer with this system installed. This book is specifically for beginners to this operating system.

This review is from: Windows Vista Just the Steps For Dummies (Paperback)
Book is for dummies and is of virtually no use to the new "stupid" user unfriendly Vista.
