Great Book - for Intermediate to Advanced Readers,
By Francesca (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows 7 Secrets (Paperback)
This book is just what I was looking for. I've been using XP for years and intend to purchase a new computer with Windows 7. This book starts by discussing the different versions of Win 7 available (in detail) and the hardware you'll need if you want to run some specific features like Aero or XP Mode. For those upgrading, there's a complete chapter on installing the OS from the disk. The bulk of the book, and the reason I find it so useful, is that it explains in detail all the differences between XP (or Vista) and Windows 7. Very well written, easy to understand and very thorough. If you're a total beginner this isn't the book for you, but if you're coming from XP or Vista, it will help you get comfortable with 7 in a hurry.

This review is from: Windows 7 Secrets (Paperback)
One of the perfect reference book for the missing windows 7 CD book. Since Microsoft left us with no written booklet on windows 7, that bbok is my reference when I need to get informations. Help guide doesn't cut it for me, I need something written. Thanks Paul.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Not as intimidating as it first appears,
By
This review is from: Windows 7 Secrets (Paperback)
Weighing it a 1054 pages, this book seems physically intimidating, at first.However, since most pages are filled with screen-shots of the topic being discussed, it is actually easy -- and quick -- to read. Also, if you have ever heard author Thurrott on the podcast "Windows Weekly", you will recognize his "voice" in may sections: easy going and frank. I've been thought less than 1/3 the book, but so far have been happy with the balance between "thorough" and "concise".
