Windows Vista in a Nutshell
Windows Vista in a Nutshell is a concise reference book on the windows vista operating system. It is written for users that have a moderate amount of computer knowledge. This is the third nutshell book I have purchased. The reason I like the series is that they are more to the point than those enormous reference books you see in the bookstores and libraries. The size and the amount of information are a nice match without many compromises.

best of the windows vista books
I have checked out a number of Vista books from the library, as a new Vista user. This one was the best I found. It is clear and readable, detailed and comprehensive.
