`I hated Vista until I went through James` training, now I look at it with a new set of eyes.` - CBT Nuggets CEO and Founder Dan Charbonneau

This training allows Vista to become the great OS for you that it can be. Vista has tremendous potential, but unfortunately, the learning curve has been a little too steep for users to pickup on their own.
