Hello all, I have a friend that has a PC with Vista. She would like to learn
this OS more in depth and was asking me about a book recommendation, Since I
do not have Vista I could not recommend any books off hand.I have heard good
things about the Missing Manual series. Is Vista, The Missing Manual (David
Pogue) a good recommendation? What other book is recommended? Thanks!! Saga

whs writted thus:

This is the best: 'Windows Vista: The Missing Manual - O'Reilly Media'
(http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596528270/)

This is quite good too: Windows Vista For Dummies Quick Reference

Before buying any book tell your friend to press the F1 key wherever the
mouse point is focused and read everything.

As far as I'm concerned, the best by far is "Windows Vista Inside Out"
by Ed Bott, Cark Siechert, and Craig Stinson.

I own that and I also own the Pogue book. The Pogue book isn't bad,
but nowhere near as good as the Inside Out one.

Thanks - I will definitely pass this on to her Saga
