 Must Read June 7, 2010
A. Thompson (Virginia)
Everyone who buys Windows 7 will benefit from this pictorial article approach. The format is much like that of Smart Computing. There is something of interest to all.
Best Book for learning Win 7 April 19, 2010

I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and this was a great book. It has good step by step instructions. The illustrations are clear and the Table of Contents is wonderful at covering the most pertinent. I would like to recommend this book for newbies as well as old timers to refresh their skills.

What a refreshing and fun read!! If you or someone you know likes to tinker and play on the computer this is a fantastic guide!! With 200 pages of yummy FULL COLOR content (i always love full color), you will learn how to work and play with the amazing Windows 7 operating system!!
I love this book, if you want to learn more and have fun doing it, pick this up TO-DAY!!!
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
 Poorly written and laid out August 13, 2010
Gadgester (Mother Earth)
Written by the British staff of the Official Windows Magazine (which comes out quarterly here stateside and is not a bad magazine, available at your local B&N and Borders bookstores), this beginner's guide to Win7 is rather poorly written. Some of the step-by-step instructions are missing a step or two, and the layout is hideous: each topic is spread over two facing pages, but often it's not obvious wether you should read across the top of the two pages first, or read one page before the other. I feel that even though the book underwent editing by an American English speaker, the writing is still very awkward to an American reader.
What I hate the most though, are those so-called super tips, which are nothing but some very basic things anyone under 50 can figure out on their own (no offense to anyone over 50 as I'm getting there prety soon).
For better introductions to Windows 7, try Windows 7 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft)) or Teach Yourself VISUALLY Windows 7 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)).
