2.0 out of 5 stars Ok for beginners but a waste for anyone else., July 1, 2009

By	Thomas Frost - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am use to the old Bibles that were like 2000 pages and gave you everything you could ever want to know and then some in a format almost 1.5x's this ones. I flipped through it when I got it and its pretty much gathering dust. There was so much left out of this book that I really cant see how they could call it a bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Windows Vista help in a book, May 25, 2008

By	Bradley Jones (Fishers, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Windows Vista is Microsoft's newest operating system. With Windows Vista, Microsoft changed nearly everything. Most of the changes were minor, but if you were used to doing something in a step-by-step approach in prior versions of Windows, then there is a good chance that some of those steps changed or went away. This book is fully focused on Windows Vista and on showing you how to get specific task done.

If you are new to Vista, then this is the perfect book to get all the information you'll need to get started and more. If you are an experienced Windows user, then this is the perfect book to have sitting next to your computer in case you need to know how to do something. Either way, chances are you'll find the book great to have when you simply can't figure out what you need to do when using Vista.
