Windows 7 Secrets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this book due to my enjoyment of Paul Thurrott and Leo Laporte's Windows Weekly podcast. The book covers virtually everything in Windows 7, and should be considered the ultimate resource/guide on the OS. This is a great tool for newcomers, as well as those who have been running Windows 7 since the beta release. Even amidst the more simple sections, such as installation, the authors manage to sneak in interesting tips and secrets that even IT Pro's might not be aware of. Snarky and subtle comments laced throughout the text and below screenshots kept me smiling as I read through the chapters. Whether you're someone who has never bothered to peer under an operating system's hood, or a Windows power user just trying to figure out what features Microsoft has added to its latest operating system, this book is a great buy!

Microsoft Windows 7 In Depth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It seems the aether has miss titled this book. Perhaps Win7 in review would be good. I found that the author covered a lot of ground but wasted a lot of pages on features that were in previous versions. In depth means to me that the inner-workings of the OS would be described. He simple lists all the features and describes what they do. The author actually walks you through the installation describing how to hit the next button. Why have a chapter on this? I would understand if the book then went on to describe the more complex deployment features that Win 7 sports but it doesn't. That's the entire chapter on installation.
I would describe this as a good general knowledge book but certainly not an in depth description of the features.

Windows 7 All-in-One For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this book even before I received Windows 7. I wanted a "heads up" on what I was geting into. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Woody Leonhead spells it out and tells you exactly as it is. Even questions you wouldn't think to ask. And, to top that off, he even has put in information that Microsoft wouldn't tell you, e.g., if you download your pictures from either your camera or your memory stick, Windows 7 AUTOMATICALLY deletes your pictures from your camera or memory stick, whichever one you are using. So, photo people, BEWARE and find another way to keep your pictures. I'm sure there is a lot more very interesting items that Woody will let all of us know, only if you are willing to purchase his book. BTW, he used to work at Microsoft and is a now a BETA tester for them. So, you know you are getting all the "ins" and outs" of Windows. I am definitely recommending to everyone that they purchase this book. One of a kind that you will not find in any other book.
