Book Review: Another Gem from Missing Manuals - Windows Vista
Summary: 5 Stars
It's almost like you need a written manual, but they've become extinct. Just like the dinosaur! But, what can you do when you need help? But a Missing Manual title for your program and solve your problems. You can even read it in parts and learn new tricks to do things you would never know what and how to do.
Missing Manuals, don't ignore the benefits of Pogue's series. When you need help you can avoid an Internet search and look at a written index. What a relief? Buy it and you'll agree with me. No doubt!!
Book Review: Complete Manual for Vista
Summary: 5 Stars
Vista is a very large and highly detailed operating system and Pogue's "Missing Manual" is a very complete, heavy duty explanation of how to use that system. The writing is clear, accurate, and straight forward. It is aimed at the everyday user, not the technically oriented geek who wants to do things like edit the Registry. The completeness and level of detail covered are impressive. Lots of illustrations help to clarify written descriptions. I have no reservations recommending this book. It deserves a 5 star rating.Book Review: Not as helpful as I would have thought
Summary: 2 Stars
As a big fan of David Pogue in the NY Times, I was greatly disappointed with this very lengthy book. What I, and most people trying to learn Vista, need to know, is how to accomplish the tasks we used in previous operating systems in Vista...this book did not help at all.
Comparing the "old" methods, with hints for how to do it in the "new" system would have been a good first chapter...particularly how to transfer data files without the use of a hired computer Guru.
Book Review: Predictably Good
Summary: 5 Stars
David Pogue can be counted on to do a thorough and readable handbook of whatever Operating System is new and is in need of comprehensive instruction. His ongoing series title of "The Missing Manual" is accurate. (He has similar books for Mac Operating Systems). Computers now come with precious little in new owner information and most users need more. There will be many new books on the Vista Operating System, but you can count on this author to give you what you need.Book Review: Windows Vista: The Missing Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
Windows Vista: The Missing Manual An excellent book.
Clear and to-the-point, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of Windows Vista. It covers all five versions of Vista.All the many utilities, Media Center features, new security features, and the Internet Explorer 7 are covered; also how to make your own audio CDs and DVD movies. There is an extensive discussion on installation in the Appendix. At a hefty 826 pages it makes a thoroughly detailed reference.
