This release marks a departure for the Accelerated series, which previously has covered only graphics applications. Earlier books in the series have covered Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash and Illustrator, and have been best-sellers in their respective categories in the United Kingdom and have performed well in other markets as well.
YoungJin is confident that the same successful ?hands-on, easy-to-follow? tutorial approach the series utilized in the graphics titles can be applied just as effectively to operating systems. Like other books in the series, Windows Vista Accelerated is presented in full-color with stunning graphics and a sophisticated design.
Windows Vista Accelerated covers the Home, Premium, Business and Ultimate editions of the Vista OS. Topics that you will learn include:
The book also gives substantial coverage to the many new muti-media features of Widows Vista including music, video, DVD?s and TV. Though aimed primarily toward the new user, the book contains helpful tips for the more advanced reader in its numerous ?Lets Go Pro? sections included throughout the book; and includes full chapters on networking, hardware management, security and troubleshooting. There is also a chapter on the features of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, including sections on file and system backup and encryption. Every level of user new to Windows Vista will surely find value in the over 300 pages of full-color in this friendly, approachable guide.
