Customer Reviews

A Great Introduction To Windows Vista
I bought this book as a Christmas present for my brother.He had recently updated his computer to Vista without realising how very different it is to Windows XP.He was very pleased to receive this book which showed him the basics in a very easy-to-read style and acted as a mini-manual for him to refer to when he had a problem.
