Product Description
With Vista, Windows has had an extreme makeover. Many of the features that were old friends in Windows XP now look and act differently. And if you’re thinking of upgrading to Vista but haven’t done it yet, wow — there are eight different versions! How do you know which one to choose?

That’s easy — look in Book One of Windows Vista All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. Windows expert Woody Leonhard starts off this everything-you-want-to-know-about -Vista guide by helping you choose the version that fits your needs. He follows that with minibooks Two through Nine, each devoted to one specific area — setting up, securing, and customizing Vista, going online, adding cool hardware, getting the most from multimedia, exploring Vista video, and setting up a network. You’ll find out about:

  • Ripping and burning discs of data, music, or movies
  • Organizing desktop files and folders
  • Collecting and editing your digital photos in the Photo Gallery
  • Controlling users, making backups, and maintaining your system
  • Locking down your system to deflect spam, scams, spyware, phishers, and viruses
  • Exploring alternatives to Internet Explorer
  • Adding hard drives, printers, key drives, USB hubs, and other hardware
  • Making movies, adding music to your iPod, and setting up Media Center

Covering almost anything you will ever need to know for a long and happy relationship with Vista, Windows Vista All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies is a guide you’ll refer to again and again.

    Summary: informative, thorough
    Comment: I haven't completely finished the book, but it has answered all my Vista questions so far, and I am very computer illiterate. It is very user-friendly verbage.

    Summary: Vista for Dummies
    Comment: There are many pieces of information that one would never know without a handbook like this. It is easy to find specific information and just assumes I don't know anything at all (which is true in some cases).

    Comment: Received book on time paged through it a few times lots of good info been too busy to actually use it sure I will though
    Customer Rating: Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5
    Summary: Lots of chatter, but neglects too many nuts and bolts.
    Comment: I took an afternoon and went through this book from cover to cover - admittedly not all topics drew my careful attention. Too many operational details are missing: hit this key, then go to x and enter ..... etc. In sum, although my system is up and running (and was before I bought the book), I am missing instruction on many basic operations.
    Try somewhere else.

    Comment: Windows Vista For Dummies
    I have read alot of these books and find this one actually more complicated than the rest. Vista is fairly new anyway!. I bought the TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY / MICROSOFT Windows Vista after this book and found it to be a much better learning tool than this one. I prefer visuals anyway and will probably not buy anymore dummy books without visuals. I think most of them are text anyway, so unless they change some of the future content to visual, they can keep the rest. I wish I had saved my money on this one.
