Book Reviews of Windows® 7 Inside Out

Book Review: If you're only going to buy one Win 7 book, this is the one
Summary: 5 Stars



Like "Windows XP Inside Out" and "Windows Vista Inside Out," this book covers every major aspect of Windows 7. And it does so in an authoritative yet understandable manner, wrapped in an easy-to-use format.

All of the major concerns one might have are dealt with, including basic setup and start-up, personalization, security, home networking, media, and system maintenance and management. All of the differences between Vista and Win 7 are discussed. This is really THE source for everything important concerning Windows 7.

There are, of course, other doorstop-sized Windows 7 reference manuals, but the strength of this book is its focus on practical information and advice. Most of us really don't need theoretical discussions; we want to know how to install, configure, operate, and maintain our systems in the best, most efficient and easiest way possible. The authors took care to make it clear that some things can only be done one way. Other things, however, can be done multiple ways, and they explain all of them and recommend one of them. This allows a lot of latitude to personalize and experiment with Windows 7 features without getting tangled up.

The CD that comes with the book contains the entire text of the book in an easily searchable format, plus some utilities. You can install it on your hard drive and have a convenient desktop version of the book.

This book is the in-depth instruction manual that didn't come with Windows 7. It enables you to get the most out of it with the least effort-- and the least danger of messing something up. If you're only going to buy one Windows 7 book, this is the one.
