If you read through computer and peripheral advertisements, or if you are sent emails by any one of the major suppliers for such items, you will notice that there is a new Vista 7 operating system to upgrade the Vista (current) system. Searching [...] or google or yahoo, I am presented with a short video explaining that Vista 7 will speed response performance in my inquiries. Well, I am quite happy with Windows XP, and would like to continue using this OS (operating system).
Some merchandisers are also equipping new laptops and pcs with Windows XP, so maybe there a lot more people out there that prefer Windows XP than venturing off into Vista “Anything”. I have used this manual for several years, to walk through some new techniques and skills that I need, such as copying files, moving files, installing a printer, and among others, adjusting various devices built into the computer system.
The main reason I recommend this manual is because it contains full color photos of the pc screen with whatever is being used; these are graphic presentations based on photos. It also contains step by step pictures of whatever process you plan to experiment with. That may be the major constraint for some people; they are concerned about “experimenting”.
Before this manual becomes extinct, make sure to check your shelf for such resources, and “hold on to this manual” if you see it on your bookshelf. Perhaps, down the way, you will purchase a new computer, be it pc or laptop, and it will be equipped with the Vista System; once you feel the confidence of functioning on an XP platform, you, too, may venture to take on Vista 7. Good luck!

This is a great book for those of us who are not computer savvy. I am a senior who bought my computer just for e-mail. With this book I have learned to download pictures from my camera and send to friends, I have inventoried all my collections, I have a great recipe file and I shop on-line. It makes everything soooooo EASY. I bought one for each of my 2 senior sisters and my 82 year old neighbor.

I know very little about computers so this book was a great help to me. I like the full color and step by step instructions. This book was very easy to understand and follow.
