I found the book very easy to understand and "User friendly." It is well written with lots of good screen shots for clarification of specific features, tasks and events.


The book covered the variety of features that are available in the various Vista editions.


While there were features I thought needed more detailed coverage, such as the difference in the User Administrator and *Secret* Administrator, as well as the loss of Restore Points, Shadow Copies and all but current PC backups as a consequence of dual booting with XP, it was otherwise very informative.


As a Microsoft software instructor for two Community Colleges, and owner of my own business that deals in software training, data and computer services, it is a Windows Vista information resource I can feel comfortable and confident in recommending to my students and clients.

"One of the beauties of the Missing Manuals is that there is always something new to discover and the research is quite thorough...I kept finding snippets of information, in the way of Tips or Notes, that would give just that bit extra."
