5.0 out of 5 stars Teach Yourself Visually Windows XP Nov 3 2003
By P. Layden
Format:Paperback
I recommend this book so very much especially for Mac users going to a PC. I was so apprehensive while waiting for my new Dell so I bought this book first. By the time I received my new computer, I felt I knew my machine enough to feel comfortable and really looking forward to the transition. It continues to be everything I expected and more. Very Easy to read and follow, and the colored illustrations make it a breeze to learn Windows XP.I recommend this book and well worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars I thought it did the job. April 7 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
It reviewed some pretty elementary Windows procedures, and I didn't need some of that...but then it answered the questions I had concerning differences from Windows 98 nicely. I really like the "visually" concept very much and it is super in that regard, too. I used it in conjunction with the XP tutorial that came already loaded with the software. For me, the book was a big time saver with easy reference of different subjects. Particularly good if you're "spotty" on some of your basic skills. I did think it was a little oddly organized, but everything I needed was there, and that's what counted for me. I recommend this book.

Format:Paperback
As this book shows you basically what is on the screen, why do you need the book. It is only for the absolutely terrified.
