Windows Vista Secrets SP1 Edition
Windows Vista Secrets, SP1 Edition is packed with over 200 more pages of features of the new operating system that are not disclosed in Microsoft's books or help files and are not contained in other competing works.
By tapping the extensive network of Windows beta testers and conducting their own experiments on the new OS, and thousands of readers, the authors will develop page after page of information that is essential to power users of Windows but not available elsewhere.
The book will not include any beginner topics, such as listing the choices that happen to be on each menu in the various Windows applets, but will instead feature solely on secrets and new features in Windows Vista and SP1.
Looking over the revised TOC, you will see a wide number of changes and, of course, multiple new tips are added to each chapter as well.
Some of the more significant changes include:
Several new chapters covering such topics as Personalizing and Configuring Vista, Networking, Zune, Vista and Ultra-Mobile PCs, and Windows Home Server.
Several significant changes to the structure of the book.
The Fonts chapter is now an Appendix and networking content is moved from the Internet section to Security section.
A number of expansions within the text to address new features and functions that were either missing from 1E entirely or have come about since publication.
Windows Vista Secrets, SP1 Edition is packed with numerous tips, tricks, and undocumented features, with extensive screen shots, tables, and illustrations.
This book is for anyone who uses Windows Vista and wants to be able to control it rather than being controlled by it!.
