A really big book about a really big operating system. Microsoft Windows has been around for nearly a couple of decades now. During that time, we?ve seen many versions. Sometimes the change from one version to another was minor. At other times, the change was more drastic. Windows Vista is definitely one of the more drastic changes. Not so much on the outside. Virtually anything you already know about Windows still applies. The basic terminology is the same. The basic skills are the same. Most of the really big changes are in areas you don?t see.
