Meets my needs

I've worked with WINDOWS for my entire 7 years working with PCs and I've always found these folks to be able to meet my reference needs consistently and concisely. The set-up of their books is logical and easy to use. I'm by no means a computer whiz or geek, and my troubled and faulty mind occasionally needs help in dealing with WINDOWS, especially after getting comfy with XP and previous versions. For some reason, despite the obvious user-friendly changes in VISTA, my poor feeble brain resists grasping a fair amount of changes easily (just chalk it up to my age & unwillingness to change) Anyway, this book & it's previous incarnations are the mainstay of my PC references and I recommend them without hesitation.

Almost There

The knowledge in this book is "almost there." I purchased "Windows Vista: The Complete Reference" to familiarize myself with Vista since I do not have a Vista machine but needed the knowledge for work. I had used the XP Reference book and found it very informative. Prior to purchasing this book I purchased another Vista book published by Que: "Using Microsoft Windows Vista." Having started the Que book first I naturally compared the two. The XP Reference book leaves out some very important information on file encryption. If you are a casual user of Vista, this book is written in a simple, user friendly manner and should suffice. A more advanced user should purchase the Que book.
