Learn to install, configure, run, and troubleshoot the professional versions of Vista in this comprehensive new guide from two leading Windows authorities. From Vista's all-new interface, 32-bit/64-bit architecture, and advanced security features to its fantastic new capabilities for audio and video recording, editing, and broadcasting, you'll get the techniques and task-by-task instruction you need to master this dramatically different OS.
I thought that the book (several ordered, most given as presents) was well written and should prove to be quite useful for the general and experienced Windows user.
Simple, well-presented Vista coverage, but not a technical resource

I just finished the entire book, except the BDD section which doesn't interest me. The writing style is easy to read/follow, and Mark does his best to keep it interesting. As I got deeper into the chapters, I found the material becoming less detailed than I needed. I would recommend the book for anyone new to Vista who wants to be exposed to all the new features. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who needs more technical information, because you will come away wanting more. This isn't a book you'd consult to solve problems, but it is a good overview of the new Vista OS. I will be plowing into the Microsoft Resource Kit next for more depth.
