 Sick of your computer,feeling out of your depth,ready to give up. I know exactly how you feel ,and then I read this book. January 24, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
this guide does not assume as so many others do,that you have some understanding of computers. Paul McFedries knows computers inside out,but his greatest achievement is that he knows you do not,so he starts right at the very beginning, he knows you are going to make mistakes and,he leads you through these,explaining in a very amusing style the confusing language of computers, allowing you all the time in the world to practise.If you cannot make your computer do what you want it to then this book really is for you. You don,t understand now but you will
Wonderful book, and the foreword is great April 13, 2005
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
Okay, so I'm the guy who wrote the foreword - that doesn't mean I'm totally biased, does it? Paul McFedries put together a thoughtful, easy-to-read, helpful tome on everything WinXP. If you're a newbie to the OS or a grizzled veteran just looking for a few pointers, this book will more than do the job.
 Too general December 3, 2002

This book is too general. Maybe for people who never have seen windows is useful. I was looking for technical information but it is not there.
