Another Excellent Book From Pogue [Posted on 2008-10-18]
When I upgraded from the horrible Windows 98 to Windows XP, I purchased David Pogue's Missing Manual for Windows XP and was so glad I did. It was worth every penny because of the amount of information it contained. I didn't have to use it that much but whenever there was any information I did need, it was there inside the book and easy to find.
The same holds true for Mr. Pogue's book on Windows Vista. I initially wasn't crazy about switching to Vista because of the negative comments I had heard about it, plus my own experience using it on other people's computers. My main reason to try it - because I felt like a change. Before I did, however, I purchased this book to be familiar with it before installing. Like the book on XP, this one contains all the information most people would want for using Vista, in a clear, concise, easily understandable and organized format. The writing style is friendly and never a chore to read, there are sections covering every major aspect of Vista, and it is easy enough to find what you want to know.
That said, if you are really into the technical aspects of the program, this book is probably not the best for that; but for the average person who wants a reference book for using the operating system, this is an excellent choice. By the way, I am much more pro-Vista now after having installed it on my own computer (so far no problems whatsoever) than I was with my experiences using it on other people's computers.

Windows Vista the missing manual [Posted on 2008-11-02]
Windows Vista "the missing link" is too technical for me. It assumes the reader has complete mastery of Windows XP which I dont have, so I am not using the book much. I needed more of a cookbook!

The "missing manual" is a great product. It is clearly written and covers all of the questions I have regarding the efficient use of Vista. For me, it is a must-have document for new Windows Vista users. It would be great if Microsoft (and other software vendors) would include a separate CD containing a manual like this in the product box. It would certainly endear the users to the vendor since the way things are now, product support is essentially non-existent. Software vendors are getting to complacent if they think we will continue to buy their products if they don't provide after-purchase support for a period of time.
