"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Windows 7", book, April 15 2010
By Ferdinand Armbrust "Mainefred" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide To Microsoft Windows 7 (Paperback)
Having recently purchased a new computer with Windows Seven installed, I needed to bring myself up to speed using this operating system. It is vastly different from WIndows XP Pro, with which I was fairly proficient. This is the best way to do so, short of a class, that I know of. You can either go through the whole book and learn a little at a time, or cut directly to those items you need to know as soon as possible. Like other Operating System books Mr. McFedries has written, it cuts right to what you need to know and skips the hype and hoopla so common to other books of the genre. If I could only have ONE book about this operating system, I would take this one. Far and away, it is the best I have come across, and I recommend it without reservation.

After a computer failure, I had to bite the bullet and update to Windows 7 from Windows XP. Quite a new learning curve and this book certainly helped make it easier.

i think this manual is excellant for a novice. none of the so called help books get into the nitty gritty because they assume every one is past just learning. other than that buy it.
Listmania!
