Professional Review:
Windows Vista is Microsoft's most important software release in more than a decade. It offers users an abundance of new and upgraded features that were more than five years in the making: a gorgeous, glass-like visual overhaul; superior searching and organization tools; a multimedia and collaboration suite; and above all, a massive, top-to-bottom security-shield overhaul. There's scarcely a single feature of the older versions of Windows that hasn't been tweaked, overhauled, or replaced entirely.

But when users first encounter this beautiful new operating system, there's gonna be a whole lotta head-scratchin', starting with trying to figure out which of the five versions of Vista is installed on the PC (Home, Premium, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate).

Thankfully, Windows Vista: The Missing Manual offers coverage of all five versions. Like its predecessors, this book from New York Times columnist, bestselling author, and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue illuminates its subject with technical insight, plenty of wit, and hardnosed objectivity for beginners, veteran standalone PC users, and those who know their way around a network. Readers will learn how to: Navigate Vista's elegant new desktop Locate anything on your hard drive quickly with the fast, powerful, and fully integrated search function Use the Media Center to record TV and radio, present photos, play music, and record any of the above to DVD Chat, videoconference, and surf the Web with the vastly improved Internet Explorer 7 tabbed browser Build a network for file sharing, set up workgroups, and connect from the road Protect your PC and network with Vista's beefed up security And much more.

This jargon-freeguide explains Vista's features clearly and thoroughly, revealing which work well and which don't. It's the book that should have been in the box!

   Summary: The 911 Rescue to Windows Vista
This book is very good when coming to looking up snags and problems on a Vista Windows PC. One of my friends is really good at setting upp a PC and she liked it also

   Summary: A Very Useful Manual
I found this manual very useful. It helped enormously my transition from Windows XP to Vista.

   Summary: If you are new to Windows Vista- GET THIS BOOK !!
This book is a wonderous help in learning how to use the Windows Vista system to its full potential. I could not believe how many people gave so-so ratings to great laptops just because it had the Vista operating system. I admit that even I, so many times, get something high tech and do not truly know how to get into the "true meat" of what the equipment can do. When it comes to Vista, you cannot appreciate it or what this book can do until you start referencing its many chapters and pages (827 pages in all!!!). It is well written so even a "non computer geek" like me can make my way through and grasp what is being conveyed. Vista is a great system once you learn how to use it. If you are new to Vista, this is one reference book that should not leave your computer's side!!!!!

I bought this book for my daughter. Within a couple of hours she had solved several vexing problems with Windows Vista. Well worth the money.

   Summary: Windows Vista The Missing Manual
If I knew this book was about Vista Ultimate and I have Vista Home Premium, I would not have purchased it.
