 Awsome Vista Secrets November 28, 2008
This is Paul's best book yet!! His eye for detail is unprecedented, I hope he keeps writing these books. If you want to know something about Vista, go no further.
Usual Thurrott thoroughness November 9, 2008
As has become the norm for Paul's work this is a very comprehensive, easy to read, reference on Vista. There is probably more information here than most will ever need but it is sure fun to explore.
Good referance book October 21, 2008
Even experienced users will find useful gems of knowledge in this users manual for Vista. As an experienced user myself I find it a good reference for some of the more obscure and/or little used features of Vista. For novice users the book is even more useful as it explains just about everything you will need to use Vista, in an easy to read format. It is the users manual Microsoft should have included with the operating system.I bought a used copy for $1.40, in perfect condition, at that kind of price you can't go wrong.

This book is a must for any user who wants to learn the ins and outs of the Vista Operating System. I had resisted Vista because I really like Windows XP Professional. I did not want the Aero interface because of the excessive hardware and video card requirements.
I waited and purchased a Compaq Presario C700 laptop with Windows Vista Basic and I really like the touch and feel of this operating system. Without the aero interface, Vista Basic is so similar to Windows XP Professional that the learning curve is greatly reduced. The book provided invaluable direction to disable those features you don't want and optimize the features you want.
This is a fantastic read!!
