operating systems

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.

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.

This book is unique because of it's "Visual" aspects. It is chocked full of illustrations. These illustrations are actually photos of exactly what you will see and what options you will have when you are configuring Windows XP. Often this photos take you step by step on how to do things. It does this for basic tasks and also for things like burning cd's. Even if you haven't had much expierence with Windows you will feel like a pro when you have finished this book.
