    4 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Vista.......2007-06-13

    You don't have to spend much time with Windows Vista to know you need a good reference book. This book fills the bill. It is unfortunate, however, that the screen shots are so small. The book is large as it is, and I know that larger illustrations would increase the size, but I still feel the screen shots should have been larger.

    5 out of 5 stars Captain Caveman-Been into Computers since DOS 3.0.......2007-06-12

    This book is Not for NEWBIES, but if you have used Windows 95,98,Me,or XP, then this is the book you need. Start reading at the beginning and try the different approaches to Vista on your computer is the best method to get the most out of this book. But if you are like me, I just read, underline, and hilite what I did not know or was unfamiliar with, then apply this new knowledge when I sit down at my computer. I use the book quite often to find programs and change settings that seem hidden and undocumented, and you will too. You will find the book quite entertaining and extremely useful, especially the triangle shape " Secrets ". BUY AND APPLY!

    1 out of 5 stars A book for newbies ..........2007-06-03

    This is everything but a tech book, most of what is inside can be discovered by anyone who's a literate computer user. It's full of screen capture of Vista usage, but if you're new to computer and need a step by step guide to understand what you can do in Vista, this can be a solution ... If you're literate or an ITpro, forget it.

    4 out of 5 stars Windows Vista Secrets.......2007-05-21

    Easy to read and informative. I am not a geek so it was important to me to be able to follow along with what the author was saying. I can do that with this book.

    5 out of 5 stars A great reference.......2007-05-20

    This is the book for anyone who is trying to learn the new Vista. A wonderful understandable reference.
