Windows Vista Unveiled |
This book is a record of my in-depth exploration of several prerelease versions of Windows Vista, Microsoft's next major operating system (OS) and the successor to Windows XP. Don't have Windows Vista yet? That's not a problem because this is not a "how-to" book. Instead, it's more of a "what-is" book. That is, Windows Vista Unveiled takes you on a detailed tour of all the new and improved technologies, features, tools, and programs that the Microsoft programmers have stitched into the Vista fabric.
You'll learn not only what features are new in Vista, but also why they're important (or not), who they were designed for, and how they will affect your computing life. My goal is to give you an exhaustive sneak preview of Vista's innovations and changes so that by the end of the book you know whether Vista is for you and what to expect when you sit down in front of this new OS. All writers write with an audience in mind. Actually, I'm not sure whether that's true for novelists and poets and the like, but it should be true for any technical writer who wants to create a useful and comprehensible book. Here are the members of my own imagined audience: - IT professionals - Developers - Power users - Business users - Road warriors - Small business owners - Multimedia users - Gamers |
