Summary: "switching to windows vista for seniors"

It was not what I expected. Hard to read/follow for me anyway. I expected something more basic abd easy to follow.

Summary: "Seniors"

Not as helpful as we thought it would be - ended up ordering Windows Vista for Dummies.

Summary: "Not for Dummies"

This book may be written for Seniors but only if the senior is computer savy. This book is not for Dummies looking for help.

Summary: "A Great Reference Source!"

I just got a new computer with Vista on it. Since I'm a "senior" I figured that this book was "made just for me"! It's a wonderful reference source. I've used it numerous times now and the answers have always been easy to understand. Technology has moved forward .. but for this retired person, Vista was a little beyond my technological know-how but this book helped a lot. I highly recommend it for anyone having trouble with the new Vista system.
