I was a relatively early adopter of Windows Vista (which was more by necessity than by choice) and whilst it did look at little like Windows XP in some areas most of it was quite different and I was a bit lost in the beginning. Initially I started out by googling anything that I wasn't sure how to do (which was quite a bit at first) but this was both tedious and time consuming, so when I was offered this book I jumped at the chance as I had read and used other Dummies books before and found them to be very easy to understand and yet didn't make me feel like I was the intellectual equivalent of a rock. This book was no exception.

It starts as all the Dummies books do with the basics like the Desktop, the Start menu and most importantly how do I use the new look Start Menu. From there it delves further into the mysteries of Vista and makes you realise how easy Vista really is to use.

Product reviews for listing 6293: Fabulous Pie
Author: Gareth Edwards

Product image for Fabulous PieDeep in the forest, a very bad bear is baking a fabulous pie. All the woodland animals want to help him find the perfect filling, so they bring him their favourite foods: berries, nuts, honey and salmon. But the bear has a better idea for what can go in the pie... the animals themselves!

With wonderfully humorous illustrations from the internationally bestselling Guy Parker-Rees and a superb rhyming text from Gareth Edwards, the creators of NEVER ASK A DINOSAUR TO DINNER are on fine form with this fun-filled romp through the forest.
