2.0 out of 5 stars For this item, I wasn't too thrilled, December 3, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
