Very useful, but somewhat biased

2008-09-10
This book probably has just about anything anyone would want to know about Vista. It's big and thick and I assume that, because it's published by Microsoft, it's accurate. But because it's published by Microsoft, it's biased; you'd never find anything critical of Microsoft in the book, which only advises the use of a non-Microsoft software alternative if it's a situation that the Microsoft product just absolutely cannot handle.

In general, the attitude of the book is that Microsoft software has no flaws; if you can live with that, you will find the book useful because (shorn of the cheerleading) it's the most complete reference on Vista you can find.

A Valuable Guide to Vista

This Tome of 1100 pages by Bott, Siechert & Stinson, offers comprehensive guidance in the application of the myriad of facilities offered by Vista, to those who do not need to be a Geek!

I didn't really need the book, just the eBook is just fine. I won't even need to open the book. I woul have rather have gotten just a CD which would have been a lot less expensive.

Wonderfull Title

Well I decided to bite the bullet and give Vista a go. I'm glad I picked up this book, because I've learnt alot from it. I've found it to be well written, easy to understand and a very useful resource to have by my side when I need to work out how to do something in Vista.

Good enough for now

I highly recommend that, unless you're a software novice, to wait for the hardbound Deluxe Edition. Very short on useful technical help for stability problems, error code fixes and glitches that are endemnic with this OS platform.

Please, please, please, Microsoft; release SP1 for the general public. As I wrote, unless you have never worked with operating system problems--save your money for the next edition. If you can't figure it out on your own, it is not in this book. I've hardly cracked it because it is so not helpful.

TOO OVER MY HEAD!

The book is very well written and contains in depth information about the Win Vista Operating System. I use it as a reference always near at hand when I am on the computer. Thanks for an informative publication.

Very exited with Windows Vista Inside Out

I have bought this product for my work. We are switching from XP to Vista, and I needed a good book to make the switch into a professional one. I really enjoy the book, it is plain and easy to use. You can search very good through the content. It is also easy to read. They have made it into a story (as good as it can be a story). I can recommand the book to other users of Vista as a "wanahave" because it really helps you to find you're way through a complex system.

Getting a lot out of it

I use computers all the time. In fact, I'm a programmer and develop software on XP. That said, I'm still getting a lot of useful info about Vista out of this book. Plus, the PDF version of it on the CD makes searching extremely easy. I'm very happy with this book. Lots of screen shots as well.

I'm not very good at fixing or upgrading computer programs.. I usually ask my friend to do it for me. His father is Mr computer fix-it. With this book i was able to do it myself. The book was clear on details and step by steps. If you don't know how or need more information this is the book for you. It contains websites to help you with programs that are and arent compatible with vista. 5 stars!
