Introducing Microsoft Windows Vistaby Anonymous

January 08, 2007: Introducing Windows Vista was written as an early primer for the new operating system from Microsoft. It did a good job AND a much better one than the other primers -- and that's why I chose it over the other primer books. Trust me, it was 1000% better than the Mcfredies and Rathbone primers AND all of them were written using the beta. The gold star you can't read in the little image says 'Based on Beta Software' and every chapter of the book includes a highlighted note stating: 'This book was written using the Windows Vista beta to provide an early introduction to the operating system.' An early introduction is exactly what this book is. It was a good book for introducing Windows Vista before the operating system was available, but NOT now that Windows Vista is available for businesses and soon for everyone. If you are a technical person (developer, engineer, administrator) you should look for Stanek's Windows Vista Administrator's Pocket Consultant. It's out AND it's excellent like all his others. I also see Stanek has Windows Vista The Definitive Guide on the way.
