4.0 out of 5 stars quick tour of the basics, August 6, 2005

By	W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A vivid and cute exposition of Microsoft Windows XP. The images are boldly coloured and sometimes just seem to reach out and grab you by the lapels. The tour is actually fairly brief, in terms of the coverage of XP's features. But in fairness, Maran is not offering a comprehensive exposition. Instead, for the beginner, she deems it more important to convey the typical common tasks that you will want to do. Later on, you can consult a more detailed text for the extra stuff.

The text is also well suited to a young audience. Though by no means limited to them.
