Technically Accurate and Focused,
By Ted Crace - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows Vista(TM) Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's Pocket Consultant) (Paperback) (Paperback)
An excellent book written to final Vista version with excellent coverage of new features including UAC, Bitlocker and more. Search on UAC and Bitlocker, and see for yourself. I've used this book for months and haven't found anything out of sync with the final. These 545 pages are packed with info and this is the most useful Vista book I own. Of all the Vista books I've purchased this is the only one I keep on my desk and refer to regularly.No single Vista book can do it all and this book isn't meant to do it all. This book promises to be the practical portable guide to Vista that zeroes in on core administration, and that's exactly what it delivers. Concisely and precisely. When I have questions on MS products I turn to Stanek's books. Stanek has a unique style and he understands the needs of administrators. Home users will find much of value in this book as well. I recommend this book highly. Great stuff! 21 of 23 people found the following review helpful

Technically Accurate and Best of the Bunch,
By Doug Crawford - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows Vista(TM) Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's Pocket Consultant) (Paperback) (Paperback)
William as always is able to take difficult technical topics and make them easier to understand. I have been running Vista since beta one, and this book is an excellent reference for those of us already familiar with Windows operating systems. He doesn't waste your time and jumps right in to explanations of the most significant changes in Vista and how these impact working with Vista. He divides the most complex topics into easy to understand sections and truly shows depth of understanding.As an MCSE I have enjoyed reading William's books for many years. I started out with his first Pocket Consultant about 8-9 years ago and have been getting every one he writes since. My understanding always increases several fold while reading his books whether a completely new subject or something more familiar. He always helps you understand subjects better and his always clear and concise approach is refreshing. You can't lose with Stanek's books. He knows how to zero in on what's important. He understands IT and writes from experience. This is an excellent book for those of us working in IT. My support and developer friends are always stealing my copy of this book. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful

Great book,
By J. L. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows Vista(TM) Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's Pocket Consultant) (Paperback) (Paperback)
This book is well written and organized. As a network admin, I found it very useful getting me familar w/ Vista. It has enough info to help me do my job, but not too much to be bored or too detailed on some common taks/commands/procedure. Indeed, a good admin guide, not for study in more detailed level for tests/exams --J.L., MCSE, MCT, CCNA
