Reader ReviewsI bought another book earlier from local bookstore I thought would answer my questions but it was pretty and was easy to understand but partly cause it was so shallow. Was good for someone that was new to all operating systems and not just xp. Calling this a quick start guide is misleading but might be a good selling point. I was looking for something that could guide me thru the differences of vista and xp and this is it. I am so used to vista now I hardly remember xp even tho it is only been around a month. If something didn't work intuitively I could just open this book. What really sold me on this book was the look inside option, I could look at the table of contents and see that it was just what I was looking for. Great reference, so far it has answered everything I needed to know.
