4.0 out of 5 stars This book has been quite helpful, February 11, 2008
When I got a new laptop for Christmas, it came with Vista, instead of the XP that I was used to. I found that I had quite a few questions and and started shopping for a book. This one has proven to be very useful and layman friendly for the most part.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mastering Windows Vista Home Premium and Basic, December 3, 2008
Mastering Microsoft Windows Vista Home: Premium and Basic (Mastering)

For a book that is so thick it has very little useful information. I found it very disapointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up!, August 8, 2007
This book was VERY informative. It helped me understand Windows Vista Home Premium a lot. I learned things I would not have known otherwise. It didn't go into the Windows Vista Basic much though.
