Windows Vista is designed to change how we work with information and play with digital media. Its new features make it easier than ever to organize existing information, create new information, and make the magic of multimedia and gaming easier to enjoy and use. Maximum PC Guide to Maximizing Windows Vista is designed to help readers get the most from these and other new features in Windows Vista. Whether a reader's a Windows veteran or is relatively new to a Windows Vista-based PC, Windows Vista is not just the same old Windows we've known and loved/hated for over a decade. Rather than simply acting as a tour guide through all the features of Windows Vista, Maximizing Windows Vista is designed to help readers understand and master the great new and improved technologies in Windows Vista. This book is written for users who want to know more than a list of software features -- it's written for users who want to know why that feature exists, what they can do with it, and how they'll benefit from it. All this is delivered in the same, indelible, no punches pulled style that has made Maximum PC one of the most respected and feared PC magazines on the planet. If you're looking for a straightforward, no BS teaching style, then look no further.
I have just finished this book, and was very impressed with how it opened my eyes to Vista. I have been very discouraged since I purchased my new computer with Vista on it-to the point of considering returning to XP. This book really helped me understand the basics of Vista and how it differs from XP. I have mainly had a hard time adjusting to the new network system that Vista uses, and this book really helped me understand. I would recommend this book to anyone new to Vista. It was very helpful.
