Thank God for Dummmy books. They explain in plain English on so many areas of learning. They make it possible to get past the pulling our your hair stage of learning something new and help you become the expert for the next confused and frustrated person. XXX to the people who write these series of books.

I'm starting to think that most of these "for dummies" books is really written by "dummies." This one has some good information in it but is not put together in great way that one can really learn Vista by reading the book. It turns into more of reference book when you have problems which is not what it is supposed to be. And it isn't even a good reference book.

Handig als naslagwerk als je Vista hebt en eens vastzit, maar meeste dingen ontdek je gaandeweg zelf wel.
