Release Notesfor a broad cross-section of users: intelligent people who aren't geeks.

Simpson's written more than 120 computer books (and taught college computing
courses for years before that). Along the way, he's learned how to call your
attention to what's really important -- even if it seemed minor until he got you
to think about it. (Case in point: Vista's "breadcrumb trails," a.k.a. "eyebrow
menus," which make navigating your folders a whole lot quicker.)

So, while Simpson certainly covers all the "usual" fundamentals of Vista, he
also offers full chapters on topics that don't always get the attention they
deserve. For instance: transferring files and settings from another PC and
working with Vista's parental controls and family safety features. Also for
instance: making the most of Vista's improved desktop "power search"
capabilities; coaxing older Windows programs to run in Vista; and using Windows
Meeting Space to collaborate with small groups of Vista users, wherever they
are.

Perhaps best of all, every section of this book contains its own troubleshooting
chapter. So you can turn here for help when you run into problems with system
startup, security, customization, networking and the Internet, multimedia, file
management, printing and faxing, software, hardware, performance...what else is
there? Not much: This 1,100-page book is pretty darned complete. But it's
written so nicely it doesn't feel anywhere close to that size, even if you
actually were to read the whole thing.
