Book Reviews of Easy Microsoft Windows Vista

Book Review: Helpful for beginners with Windows and pc basics using Vista!
Summary: 4 Stars

Recently I obtained a copy of this book, for beginners to use with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. The book is published in full color and setup in such a way that it is fairly easy to find a section pertaining to a specific task you may be trying to accomplish in Vista. All the basics are covered, which allows someone who may have been familiar with an older version of MS Windows, such as XP or even Win 98, to find their way through the newer interface in Vista. It also helps you to find those commands that seem to be hidden in this newer version of Windows.

The book begins by giving you info on what's new in Vista and describing the basics of its new interface. Most all the new features are mentioned and described. It then goes into the basics of using the most common features that are generally necessary to be understood by any user in windows. These include starting, using and exiting programs, navigation with Windows Explorer, file folder manipulation, printing, and use and adding various, different fonts. It goes on to cover the use of scanners, digital cameras, some of the various types of entertainment available in Windows, sending email, internet browsing and system security. In later sections, help is given on personalizing Windows, setting up programs, system performance and maintenance, using Windows accessories and even the basics of home networking.

As stated before this is a beginner's type book, written to be used and understood easily and to be helpful to those who do not have a lot of previous technical skill with Windows or even much experience using a personal computer.
