Product Description

Info World, April 2007

(This book) "is a solid primer for the new OS. Well written and clear to boot".

Product Description

Windows Vista is Microsoft's most important software release in more than a decade. It offers users an abundance of new and upgraded features that were more than five years in the making: a gorgeous, glass-like visual overhaul; superior searching and organization tools; a multimedia and collaboration suite; and above all, a massive, top-to-bottom security-shield overhaul. There's scarcely a single feature of the older versions of Windows that hasn't been tweaked, overhauled, or replaced entirely.

But when users first encounter this beautiful new operating system, there's gonna be a whole lotta head-scratchin', starting with trying to figure out which of the five versions of Vista is installed on the PC (Home, Premium, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate).

Thankfully, Windows Vista: The Missing Manual offers coverage of all five versions. Like its predecessors, this book from New York Times columnist, bestselling author, and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue illuminates its subject with technical insight, plenty of wit, and hardnosed objectivity for beginners, veteran standalone PC users, and those who know their way around a network. Readers will learn how to:

Navigate Vista's elegant new desktop
Locate anything on your hard drive quickly with the fast, powerful, and fully integrated search function
Use the Media Center to record TV and radio, present photos, play music, and record any of the above to DVD
Chat, videoconference, and surf the Web with the vastly improved Internet Explorer 7 tabbed browser
Build a network for file sharing, set up workgroups, and connect from the road
Protect your PC and network with Vista's beefed up security
And much more.

This jargon-free guide explains Vista's features clearly and thoroughly, revealing which work well and which don't. It's the book that should have been in the box!

5.0 out of 5 stars a Vista lifesaver, 13 Feb 2007

By	Susie (London) - See all my reviews

As someone making the transition straight from Windows 98 to Vista, this book has been an enormous help. Prepared by David Pogue and a team of expert writers, the book is written in a highly readable style and is full of information and tips. Without this missing manual, and the reading I did of it in preparation for V-day, my first hands-on encounters with Vista (starting yesterday) would have been much more daunting. I look forward to further explorations, this manual in hand. In all, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't be without it., 4 May 2008

By	Pete V (UK) - See all my reviews

Having previously bought "Windows XP Home Edition" by the same author/publisher I have found this to be equally useful.
Shame Mr Bill Gates doesn't spend some of his profits providing the same information with his products !
I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Windows Vista: The Missing Manual, 2 Mar 2009

By	Pogue Fan (Devon, England) - See all my reviews

Windows Vista: The Missing Manual
An excellent volume once again from the people who made life easy for us when Windows Millennium was state-of-the-art!
It is no mean achievement to produce a manual that becomes invaluable for the user be he or she an absolute beginner or a seasoned Windows user. Clear text, copious illustrations, fresh format - all that makes for a first class product.
