Vista Basic: The closest Vista product to XP you can get

Windows Vista Basic is worth purchasing for only a few reasons. 1) It is inevitable that at some point (though certainly not now), Windows will stop creating service packs for Windows XP. 2) Regardless of Vista's RAM-consuming ways, companies have shifted and will continue to shift away from ...

Great OS, only one compliant

+ Vista Ultimate

There are some quirks to Vista. It's not always very intuitive either. But then again all things have some learning curve to them. Generally I have been very happy with Vista. If I had to guess why there are so many problems with other users is they use Vista as an upgrade, not bothering to ...

A Winner

+ Hacking Vista short review
+ Excellent

I bought Hacking Windows Vista to help me make a decision about upgrading to Vista. After reading it, I got more than I bargained for -- it was not just a superficial book dealing with cosmetic changes. It went into depth about making Vista secure, a major concern of mine. It was so well written ...

+ Great book

Good for people who are intimidated by Vista or have fallen for all the negative publicity. Gives good explanation of major functions, but does not go into as much detail as I would have liked. For instance, there is no explanation of how to partition a hard drive. Nice humor used through the ...

I really don't see what all the fuss is.

I'm a huge XP fan (well, XP Pro). I love Linux - especially the Fedora and Ubuntu flavors. Can't say much for Macs (because I haven't goofed around on one since the Classic days - but the commercials make me want to chew my own fist off)... And now we have Vista. I waited until now to ...

Your Windows Vista help in a book

Windows Vista is Microsoft's newest operating system. With Windows Vista, Microsoft changed nearly everything. Most of the changes were minor, but if you were used to doing something in a step-by-step approach in prior versions of Windows, then there is a good chance that some of those steps ...

Fairly good book. Covers the obvious but ignores many of problems of Vista. I went to Google, mentioned the problem and found out it was a common problem. Someone had the solution which worked. More emphasis should have been given to the differences between XP and Vista

I didn't take off stars for Basic's lack of features, unlike other reviewers, because Microsoft advertised Basic without them. You can't fault Basic for things that you were forewarned on before buying it. Instead, I awarded it five stars because of its flawless adherence to the capabilities I was ...

Do NOT believe all the knee-jerk garbage you're hearing about Vista, as 90% of it is being pulled out of thin air by people who obviously never even tried it. Linux and Apple trolls scour the internet for chances to add negative reviews to an operating system they'v never even tried. Then ...

Simple, well-presented Vista coverage, but not a technical resource

I just finished the entire book, except the BDD section which doesn't interest me. The writing style is easy to read/follow, and Mark does his best to keep it interesting. As I got deeper into the chapters, I found the material becoming less detailed than I needed. I would recommend the book ...

A necessary Evil

The service I got from Amazon was great. I have an iMac, and the only reason I ordered Vista, is because there are still a few vendors out there that don't make their product for Mac, so Windows is a necessary Evil. I put Windows on my Mac hard drive just to run those few programs. Once the ...

Window's Vista Bible by Alan Simpson is the best. It is like having the author sitting with you personally. Everything is clearly explained and I haven't come across a Vista or computer topic that is not discussed. He also includes a lot of extra notes and tips. I can't imagine any book like this ...

This book is an excellent introduction to Windows Vista in many ways. If you want to learn about Vista because you've gotten it on your new computer it's great. It has a summary of all the new features and capabilities that Vista brings. In fact, in my experience there's a point to recommend Vista ...
