5.0 out of 5 stars Windows 7, plain and simple, 31 Jan 2010
By 
C. Hart (Herts, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Windows 7 Plain & Simple (Plain and Simple) (Paperback)
I have recently had to replace my desktop, the replacement coming with Windows 7 rather than Vista. I had bought the Vista book from the same authors so expected a comprehensively written user handbook written in Englaish rather than PC speak. I am delighted with the book as is my daughter who I bought a copy for as well. Best kept by your PC so that you can read-up on any area of concern or problem, relating directly to your keyboard and screen. The book covers all aspects of '7' and, whilst being an easy read, provides soluitions to many problems, perceived or otherwise.

4.0 out of 5 stars There is an easier starter book, 31 Mar 2010
This review is from: Windows 7 Plain & Simple (Plain and Simple) (Paperback)
The Plain and simple for windows 7 is well presented and goes into quite a bit of detail and I knew what to expect as I have the similar version for Windows XP. Including the pages falling out after much use.
If, however, you are new to computers or like me not that much into the IT business then you may find it worthwhile to add an additional book to get started with windows 7. I can recommend the Easy Microsoft Windows 7 (See it done. do it yourself.) book. This is simple and very well presented, its basic but will quickly get you started.
Then add or purchase later the Plain and Simple book when you want to dig that bit further.
