Excellent comprehensive desk reference,

This review is from: Windows 7 All-in-One For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is the ideal choice for a relatively inexperienced user looking for a comprehensive, thorough, but accessible guide to the complexities of Windows 7. The author,Woody Leonhard, is a well-known Windows expert who runs the informative website [...], which provides up-to-date news on Windows updates and other related topics.Since Windows 7 All-in-One essentially rolls 8 related books into one completely comprehensive desk reference it is a great deal for the thoughtful, value-conscious consumer and I intend to recommend it to friends and family looking to move up to Windows 7.

Best single source for Windows 7 Information,

This review is from: Windows 7 All-in-One For Dummies (Paperback)
This book has taken my Windows 7 experience to a whole new level. I am enjoying working my way through it, and would highly recommend it. The writing style is enjoyable (!) even for someone who is technologically challenged. My only very small criticism is that some steps could be a little more detailed. But having said that, it's great to start with this book, which is such a reliable resource and then head off to other sources if you need more information. As there is some overlap between Windows 7 and Vista, I've been able to show some neat tricks to people who've had Vista for years and haven't realized all that it could do. This book has put a lot of fun back into my computing experience-great stuff!
