It offers users an abundance of new and upgraded features that were more than five years in the making: a gorgeous, glass-like visual overhaul; superior searching and organization tools; a multimedia and collaboration suite; and above all, a massive, top-to-bottom security-shield overhaul. There's scarcely a single feature of the older versions of Windows that hasn't been tweaked, overhauled, or replaced entirely.</p> <p> But when users first encounter this beautiful new operating system, there's gonna be a whole lotta head-scratchin', starting with trying to figure out which of the five versions of Vista is installed on the PC (Home, Premium, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate). </p> <p> Thankfully, <em>Windows Vista: The Missing Manual</em> offers coverage of all five versions. Like its predecessors, this book from New York Times columnist, bestselling author, and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue illuminates its subject with technical insight, plenty of wit, and hardnosed objectivity for beginners, veteran standalone PC users, and those who know their way around a network. Readers will learn how to:</p><br /> <br /> <ul><li>Navigate Vista's elegant new desktop </li><li>Locate anything on your hard drive quickly with the fast, powerful, and fully integrated search function </li><li>Use the Media Center to record TV and radio, present photos, play music, and record any of the above to DVD </li><li>Chat, videoconference, and surf the Web with the vastly improved Internet Explorer 7 tabbed browser </li><li>Build a network for file sharing, set up workgroups, and connect from the road </li><li>Protect your PC and network with Vista's beefed up security </li><li>And much more.</li></ul> <p> This jargon-free guide explains Vista's features clearly and thoroughly, revealing which work well and which don't. It's the book that should have been in the box!</p> 94246 27 12 2006 Windows Vista (Missing Manual) total:3|5:1|4:1|3:1| 3 12 12 1 3 0 false false Thu Sep 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 00:53:16 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 21:06:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 09:56:22 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 09:56:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 22 18:45:08 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 18:45:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 03:10:40 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 03:10:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 07:42:05 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 07:42:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 22 06:43:43 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 06:43:43 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 20 23:24:27 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 23:24:27 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 26 21:18:13 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 26 21:18:13 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jun 10 01:01:47 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 01:01:47 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Sep 04 16:42:49 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 07 02:31:50 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 04 16:42:49 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jun 20 01:01:19 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 01:01:19 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sun Mar 25 13:19:55 -0700 2007 Sun Mar 25 13:19:55 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=97766
