Format:Paperback
A excellent book for those of us that aren't too familar with this computer lark.Very easy to read with great see-how guides.Lovely coloured pages that invite you to get involved,yet without bogging you down with too much information.I gave this book 5 stars although it doesn't cover some of 'vista ultimate' functions,but hey if you are man enough to handle the ultimate(like myself)then this book will serve you well,plain and simple.

Format:Paperback
This is a concisely-written publication with particular emphasis on Microsoft's Vista Home Premium version software. It covers most of the applications which a home-based user would need to access, in a clear and well-annotated manner, with good(coloured)illustrations and clear text. The reader does not require to digest the book's information, front cover to back, but can 'jump-in' to a particular chapter for instruction/explanation on a specific function or application. The publication title - 'Plain and Simple' is aptly chosen and since I am not, as yet, fully up-to-speed on the idiosyncracies of the Vista software, I have found it a very useful source indeed and would certainly recommend it to other users.

As a Silver Surfer, I was 'green' when I started, but this book has opened a new world to me. Very easy to understand, and well written.

User friendly Vista
I had used Vista for personal work for some months and thought it had the user friendliness of a cornered rat.

Very simple to understand. Explains things in English not geek speak. We got it because of our lack of knowledge about vista and pcs in general. Read more

Does what it says on the cover.
For a quick and easy reference guide to vista look no further. Probably a bit too easy for some!
