Windows Vista Secriets |
This book is a must for any user who wants to learn the ins and outs of the Vista Operating System. I had resisted Vista because I really like Windows XP Professional. I did not want the Aero interface because of the excessive hardware and video card requirements.
I waited and purchased a Compaq Presario C700 laptop with Windows Vista Basic and I really like the touch and feel of this operating system. Without the aero interface, Vista Basic is so similar to Windows XP Professional that the learning curve is greatly reduced. The book provided invaluable direction to disable those features you don't want and optimize the features you want.
This is a fantastic read!! |

Great book... |

Great book for beginners, and great for those quite a bit more savvy. Good discussion of Power Script but a little too in-depth, for my taste, in fonts and rendering. Overall, highly recommended. |

Dissapointing |
I found this book to be a large waste of my time, full of stuff I already knew, stuff I don't need to know, stuff I don't want to know. It is my opinion that about 70% of the books ever written are useless ripoffs
and this is certainly one of them. |

not for the Techie |
I have been repairing windows PCs since Win 95, and this book is useless.
It is nowhere in the same class as the old Windows 98 Secrets book written by Livingston which became a standard for all the under the hood configuration and behavior of the Operating System.
I have purchase Windows Vista Inside/Out, which although still not as technically detailed as I would like, at least covers all the issues.
The Livingston book has absolutely nothing usefull on how to deal with home networking and security, spends a whole chapter on Fonts, and has numerous pages of totally useless tables.
What a waste of effort. |
