Windows Vista Plain and Simple

Great book to help you understand Windows Vista. Easy to understand and with colorful pictures.

Book does not make your life easier

VISTA should not have been developed, in my opinion. This book is PLAIN, AND it does not make the ill-fated operating system EASY to use. Years ago the US automobile manufacturers told drivers what's good for them'. Look what happened!

Easy to understand

I purchased Step by Step. This had a disc at the back of the book which was to be used for practice lessons. This does not work. I downloaded the system many times, without success. I found an item on the net which explained that there was a problem with the system and it gave instructions to cure this - but this does not work either. I wrote to Windows and they did not reply.

I purchased Plain and Simple - and that is what it is, easy to understand and use. I recommend it.

I find this guide to be very easy to use. I could locate the topic I needed easily. The text is user friendly and the pictures are excellent feedback that confirms what you entered and clearly illustrates the topic.

I think this is one of the easiest guides I've used and reccomend it to anyone who is not a computer guru.

Vista 101 this is not.

2008-01-18
Once again this is a computer book written for beginers by computer savy users and programers. I own this book just as a reference, because nobody knows it all, even though I have over 30 yrs of experience of computer use and programing. I suggested this book to a friend that had never used a computer before and he still has problems find information to resolve problems. This is not Vista 101, but should knock it down a notch for the novice user.

Great Vista OS Manual

2008-01-04
This is a superaltive manual for beginning and intermediate users of the new Microsoft Windows Vista OS. It's very user friendly, all color photographs and laid out exactly as youwould see it on the screen so you can perform the steps as you read the book. The book is made to be hands free, meaning you can sit it down andnot have to hassle with it folding over constantly which is a huge plus. Each step is numbered on the side, and on the picture of what you should do that looks like your computer screen, there is a corresponding number for each step. For your average person who is just looking to get savvy with Vista, this is a great resource to have. I plan on keeping it in my reference library, and owning it as long as I use Vista.

Great buy!

Very good book. It's easy to understand and simple to find what you are looking for. You don't have to read the whole book at once. It has step-by-step instructions for each task and color examples of what the screens look like when you go to them. Very helpful to me.

Understanding Windows Vista program

2007-11-17
We got a new computer with the Windows Vista program on it. The man who set it all up said "oh, this is going to be so easy". Well, it wasn't! There were no classes to take and no instruction books. A friend told me about this book. I immediately sent for it and what a life saver. What a help this book has been.
