Product Description
With Vista, Windows has had an extreme makeover. Many of the features that were old friends in Windows XP now look and act differently. And if you’re thinking of upgrading to Vista but haven’t done it yet, wow — there are eight different versions! How do you know which one to choose? That’s easy — look in Book One of Windows Vista All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. Windows expert Woody Leonhard starts off this everything-you-want-to-know-about -Vista guide by helping you choose the version that fits your needs. He follows that with minibooks Two through Nine, each devoted to one specific area — setting up, securing, and customizing Vista, going online, adding cool hardware, getting the most from multimedia, exploring Vista video, and setting up a network. You’ll find out about: -
Ripping and burning discs of data, music, or movies -
Organizing desktop files and folders -
Collecting and editing your digital photos in the Photo Gallery -
Controlling users, making backups, and maintaining your system -
Locking down your system to deflect spam, scams, spyware, phishers, and viruses -
Exploring alternatives to Internet Explorer -
Adding hard drives, printers, key drives, USB hubs, and other hardware -
Making movies, adding music to your iPod, and setting up Media Center Covering almost anything you will ever need to know for a long and happy relationship with Vista, Windows Vista All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies is a guide you’ll refer to again and again.

This is a great book for people who do not understand vista and it's complicated GUI. This was great i got it for my grandparents and now they are asking me about things i have no idea about, and I'm a CIS major. Great book really suggest it
Windows Vista for Dummies March 8, 2008
Good for people who are intimidated by Vista or have fallen for all the negative publicity. Gives good explanation of major functions, but does not go into as much detail as I would have liked. For instance, there is no explanation of how to partition a hard drive. Nice humor used through the book.

Hats off to the persons who write this book - you are all wonderful - Vista was a mystery to me - not any more - I now understand Vista! Thank You
 Poor indexing for new users February 8, 2008
This a physically large book with lots of stuff in it. I found it difficult to find the information that I needed. The info about the administrator account did not work on my Vista Home Premium.

I have not yet switched to Vista, but plan to soon. I always like to be prepared, ahead of time, though, and this book is helping me to do just that. Later, it will serve as a excellent source of help and reference.
I am very pleased with this purchase.
