Pertenece a la colección personal llamada «libros que perdieron vigencia y utilidad».

Compré esta obra, junto a otras cuatro, porque me interesaba profundizar en el sistema operativo que venía pre-instalado en mi computadora nueva ―en aquél momento (2009), y que sigo usando once años después (2020)―. Se trataba, como no tiene misterio alguno, de «Windows Vista» y de su conjunto de programas de oficina «Office 2007». Ciertamente es extraño que mi ordenador no incorporara el «Windows 7», que ya estaba en el mercado. Pero siempre supuse que se trataba de que las características físicas (hardware) no soportaban el nuevo sistema de Microsoft.

En fin, como decía, adquirí cinco libros...

I like Williams book's - easy to understand and helpful. Learned at least three computer tips that I'll be using on a daily basis.
