David Pogue has written another excellent guide for a Windows operating system. I bought the one for Windows XP, and it was easy to follow and use. This one is just as easy to use and follow.

This book offers a lot of good information. However, for a more complete book I prefer to fall back on "Windows 7 Inside Out Published by Microsoft which I would choose if I could only afford one book.
