Enter: "Windows Vista: The Missing Manual"
Written by: David Pogue
Published by: Pogue Press - O'Reilly.

Vista truly is a new experience and all aspects
of the various features are explained in detail
in this comprehensive, easy to read manual.
If you are a first time computer owner or a
veteran from the days of DOS this is a book
you will find yourself referring to over and over.

Everything from the graphically appealing
Windows Aero interface to tips on how to
install Vista is covered. 32-bit vs. 64-bit,
organizing your files, Gadgets, hooking up
to the net, Internet Explorer 7, Windows Mail,
Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, transferring your
files, tweaking the Registry, making backups,
maintenance...it's all in there and much more.

Finally, I must say the RepKover binding of this
more than 800 page treatise is excellent. You
can actually open it flat on the desk and it won't
slam shut like many books will. This can be
quite useful when you are trying to read and
implement the instructions while sitting at your
keyboard.

Wow! This really is the book that should have
been in the box.
