When I was getting ready to build my new computer earlier this year, I decided that it was going to be ready to run Microsoft Vista. However, as with most new software (applications and operating systems), there is a certain feeling of uncertainty over any upgrade. I was pleased when I saw the O’Reilly & Associates was releasing another book in their “Missing Manual” series on Windows Vista. I immediately ordered a copy to assist in my endeavor to install and learn a new operating system.


I must say that this book has proven to be an excellent investment as it covers all of the new features and idiosyncrasies of the new version of Windows. The book covers the new Welcome Center, Desktop, Start Menu, Search and Gadgets. If/when you upgrade to Windows Vista, I would strongly recommend this book to help you through some of the trying times that everyone encounters as they learn new software.

"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."
