Book Review: Read All About Vista
Summary: 4 Stars
This past year. computers have had a numerous makeover. There have been numerous games that have defined many P.C.s and video game systems like the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. Although video game systems have been high and low, the windows have also recieved a change. While so many more computer are geared to Windows XP operating systems today, they are also geared to being compatable to the next edition of the Windows operating system, Vista. With many computer heads wanting to bump up and update the functions and the potential of their computer with the next Windows, they just don't know how it will be on the computers. This will take you to the next level.
Windows Vista For Dummies is a comprehensive step-by-step guide that takes you through the motions of knowing how to operate your way through the new operating system. The book is very detailed and basic for those who don't have a computer yet, or if you have Windows XP and just want to upgrade. There are many different details here on this version including how to operate Windows Media Player 11, and the compatabilty of new download services like Urge, and the new Internet Explorer 7 that now scans for phishing and possible identity theft, which may protect you from losing money and credit card information. The graphs and diagrams are detailed nicely, and handle perfectionally for basic Vista owners, and people who really don't know how to even operate a computer.
All in all, Windows Vista For Dummies is a real must buy for anyone who has the need to get the newest Windows Operating system. However, if you're satisfied with the way Windows XP works, there is no entity to upgrade. I really recommend this book from the Dummies people because it really teaches anyone the simpliest tricks of the trade, and that will help you to the Vista light.
