Beta testers of Windows 7 are singing its praises, but
when it comes time for ordinary mortals to learn this new
system, Microsoft offers little help. David Pogue's
Windows 7: The Missing Manual comes to the rescue. Like
its predecessors, this book illuminates its subject with
technical insight, plenty of wit, and hardnosed
objectivity for beginners, veteran standalone PC users,
and those who know their way around a network. Those who
have seen Windows 7 applaud the way it fixes some of
Vista's most painful shortcomings. The latest Microsoft
OS is speedier, has fewer intrusive and nagging screens,
and is generally much more compatible with peripherals.
Plus, Windows 7 introduces a slew of new features,
including fast-access searching and better organization
tools, easier WiFi connections and home networking setup,
and even touchscreen computing for those lucky enough to
own the latest hardware. This jargon-free Missing Manual
explains Windows 7 features so clearly - revealing which
work well and which don't - that it should come in the
box with this OS.
