Book Reviews of Windows Vista: The Definitive Guide
Book Review: Pitiful
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, this book is huge and has lots of information. Unfortunately, it is poorly organized and I have not been able to find ANY of the problems I've tried to find answers to in this book. I have been using Vista for a year and a half now, and bought this book shortly after I bought the computer; I am getting rid of Vista, I have gotten tired of trying to make things work that worked fine in Win98 and XP; and this book has been no help at all. Maybe, if I were to sit down and read this massive tome cover to cover I would learn something that would help, but I have better things to do with hundreds of hours of my time.
Book Review: Not for true IT professionals; should be titled "Windows Vista: The POWER USER's Guide"
Summary: 2 Stars
This is not a "definitive" guide of any sort. For an O'Reilly series book (especially with its title and book description), you'd expect a lot more technical information. This book contains WAY too much guidance with the "Hello and Welcome to Vista" type of approach and doesn't provide information regarding the true guts of Vista. This will make a fine doorstop.
