 The Essential Manual May 12, 2007
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I'm so glad I bought this book. It's hard to believe that no manual ships with the new operating system. The other Windows upgrades were not so different that you needed specific information. I'm a person who likes to have a reference book handy. Wading through help menus in the system does not always result in finding answers to your questions. I recommend this manual to both the novice and the expert.
Good Work, Here.... April 21, 2007

To my mind, the concept of a an Operating System as complex as Vista NOT coming with a manual is absurd. David Pogue's work here is essental -- at 800+ pages, thicker than the Minneapolis phone book, you're pretty much guaranteed an answer to any Vista-related question which might cross your mind. Good work, here. Truly, the book that should have been in the box. Well done.
A must-have for Vista users March 28, 2007
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
I previously bought the Missing Manual for Windows XP and found it to be a font of knowledge. So far the Vista version hasn't disappointed me. You really need this book to make sense out of Vista [Do not rely on the Windows Help!] Profusely illustrated with many examples and a good index to find subjects. And there is a website where you can check for corrections, updates etc. A must-have book, and the Amazon price is pretty good.
The Only Book Most Windows Vista Users Need March 25, 2007
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
The title sends the message of my review. Every Windows Vista User should purchase this book at the same time Windows Vista is purchased, or, immediately after the purchase of Windows Vista. The book covers everything that most users want to know and should know about Windows Vista. Significantly this book is written for easy reader understanding and for plesant reading.
Read it a learn things technical you should know without plowing through unnecessary technical language. If you really want to get technical, then, after you read this book to become a competent and comfortable Windows Vista user, purchase Windows Vista Inside Out by Ed Bott, Carl Siechert, and Craig Stinson. Windows Vista Inside Out is great book if you really wish to get technical and look at Windows Vista in-depth.

Windows Vista: The Missing Manual An excellent book.
Clear and to-the-point, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of Windows Vista. It covers all five versions of Vista.All the many utilities, Media Center features, new security features, and the Internet Explorer 7 are covered; also how to make your own audio CDs and DVD movies. There is an extensive discussion on installation in the Appendix. At a hefty 826 pages it makes a thoroughly detailed reference.
