Windows Vista is Microsoft's most important software release in
more than a decade. It offers users an abundance of new and
upgraded features that were more than five years in the making: a
gorgeous, glass-like visual overhaul; superior searching and
organization tools; a multimedia and collaboration suite; and above
all, a massive, top-to-bottom security-shield overhaul. There's
scarcely a single feature of the older versions of Windows that
hasn't been tweaked, overhauled, or replaced entirely. But when
users first encounter this beautiful new operating system, there's
gonna be a whole lotta head-scratchin', starting with trying to
figure out which of the five versions of Vista is installed on the
PC (Home, Premium, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate). Thankfully,
"Windows Vista: The Missing Manual" offers coverage of all five
versions. Like its predecessors, this book from New York Times
columnist, bestselling author, and Missing Manuals creator David
Pogue illuminates its subject with technical insight, plenty of
wit, and hardnosed objectivity for beginners, veteran standalone PC
users, and those who know their way around a network. Readers will
learn how to: navigate Vista's elegant new desktop; locate anything
on your hard drive quickly with the fast, powerful, and fully
integrated search function; use the Media Center to record TV and
radio, present photos, play music, and record any of the above to
DVD; chat, videoconference, and surf the Web with the vastly
improved Internet Explorer 7 tabbed browser; build a network for
file sharing, set up workgroups, and connect from the road; protect
your PC and network with Vista's beefed up security; and much more.
This jargon-free guide explains Vista's features clearly and
thoroughly, revealing which work will and which don't. It's the
book that should have been in the box!
