About the Book

Microsoft Vista is the biggest and most wide-ranging update and overhaul of the operating system since Windows '95 and also represents the longest time between releases of any release to date. This succinct yet comprehensive pocket book will guide you through the new features of Vista and enable you to get up and running quickly. Short, easy-to-follow tutorials help the reader to instantly grasp the essential functions of this operating system. Keenly priced and with an attractive two-colour text design and in a handy pocket or bag-sized format, these books will be an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to improve or master their abilities without buying a bulky or expensive manual. The Windows Vista and Office 2007 Pocket books have entirely new, and substantially more content than the previous editions, which makes then even better value at just GBP8.99. With their bold new jacket designs they will stand out on any shelf.
