1: windows vista for dummies
I'm not thrilled with the book version. I still have the DVD version to test which came bundled with my order.

2: Sortibng out Vista
I was dead set against Vista due to users comments and my new computer came with Vista instead of XP which I have learned to use! I thought that the only way to sort it out was to get one of the "For dummies" books, which I hve been buying since "DOS for Dummies" ( I have Windows XP for Dummies" too - at the time I thought XP was unwieldy). I have already solved various (apparent)problems thanks to "Vista for Dummies", which are due to lack of knowledge and being rather hide-bound. I still haven't cracked it all but am well on my way, and very happy with the book, as it has had answers to all of my doubts up to now.

3: Just Buy The Book !!!!
I just finished watching the dvd--Windows Vista for Dummies, and I have to admit that I was disappointed. The dvd doesn't give any examples of what you can do with vista. After watching the dvd I didn't know any more than when I started.(even the host recommeds buy the book to use as a reference--He knows hes' not saying much.
I would advise you buy just the book and if you want to learn about vista get video professor or professor teaches vista--you'll learn more.

4: Dummies is the perfect reference.
I always have the dummies book handy for reference. It is almost always clear and informative.
Time Wise a Great Investment.

5: Not best source
Purchased this item and disappointed because does not provide a reference for trouble shooting, for example, it does not include a section on compatiblity. That section allows games to work from XP to Vista. Had to go to Yarnold's "Windows Vista Tip and Tricks", which I recommend. Dummies is a good source for beginners but not for problem solutions.
