[Daniel Messer · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very weighty book. No seriously, you could use this thing as a weapon in hand to hand combat. Otherwise, it's a really decent book on the subject of Windows 7. Given that I'm such a Windows fan (yes, I know, but we do exist) I really didn't learn a whole lot from this one. However, that's not a bad thing for me because, if I can go through a book like this (over 1,200 pages) and find out that I know most of this stuff, that tells me I'm keeping up really well with the trends and usage of Windows.

So if you're an end user, looking to become a power user, then this book is worth your time. Just know that at 1,200+ pages, it's going to take some time to get through it!
