I bought the Teach Yourself Visually Windows Vista book about a month ago. I bought a new computer for college, and found it didn't have my old XP standby, but a whole new system called Vista. Since I couldn't get an XP, I had to learn to operate Vista. I loved this book for it easy ability to explain how to do tasks using the Vista Program that is now on most of the new computers that are being sold. I especially love the step-by-step process where it will tell you what to do, then also draws a red line to the icons that relates to what you are to push or look at. Very detailed! I'm a visual learner, so the pictures are a huge help in seeing what I have to do to have my computer do what I want. This is a good beginners book and I would highly recommend it to any beginner. Once you get the hang of the new program, then a more complicated book would make more sense to go into. From my understanding, more and more colleges are going to be changing their programs to Vista, so I would recommend those who plan on going to college to start learning it now. Overall, I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Vista and learn it quickly.Read full review
I bought this book for my Mother-in-law. She is 70 years old. She bought her a computer and wants to learn how to use it. She lives in another state. I can't be there with her to show her how. She has really enjoyed the simple explanations that consist of windows vista. The price was quite simple for the information that the book contains.
This book is an excellent learning tool because it shows you exactly what you'll see on your computer screen and gives you the steps to follow to expedite a command. I bought one for myself and for my 76 year old mother who is just now learning about computers! I previously bought the Windows XP book and was very impressed.
This a a great teaching tool for seniors trying to learn Vista. It made it so easy for me to understand the new program. I have used thes books for Windows 98 and XP also. Don't think I would be brave enough to take on new programs at my age without these great books.
This book should be a big help since I have a Windows Vista computer now. I like the easy read text and the many visuals. Really helpful to a "Senior" like me.
