Windows Vista

Vista is here, are you ready? Author David Pogue says, "Vista is beautiful, and presents a much less technical, geeky personality. Unfortunately, it means that many familiar features have been altered — simplified, thrown out, renamed, or moved around. Vista is much better than previous versions of Windows, but it’s going to be very confusing to anyone used to the old way of doing things."

Whether you're a new user or an experienced Microsoft veteran, there's going to be something about Vista that leaves you scratching your head. But don't worry, we've got you covered. Browse through our complete lineup of Vista titles below to find the right title for you. Or read through articles and you'll be ready to make the most out of the 50 million lines of code coming soon to a computer near you.
