Even if you're brand new to Windows (meaning Vista is your first-ever operating system), you'll find the advice here indispensable.

Cleaning Windows Vista For Dummies



"Here's a handy household hint - getting control of all the clutter on your PC will make it run faster and more efficiently. This book is like a closet full of cleaning tools that help you organize your data and e-mail, archive the stuff you do need to keep, toss old cookies, tune up your file system, and much more.

Your computer does get messy; have no doubt about it. Programs load and unload, files pop into existence and then slither off to unknown parts of your hard drive, and spyware tries to adhere itself to your operating system. Every day, your system changes as information is added and new demands are placed on old programs.

All these things add to the unique clutter that comes to define and weigh down your system. You can redefine your system and free your system, all by identifying and removing the clutter. Cleaning Windows Vista For Dummies shows you how.

I�m a firm believer that you should read this book out loud, while standing on the coffee table in your neighbor�s living room. It surely will make an impression on the neighbor�s kids and free up time you previously spent going to dinner parties.

Whether you decide to read this book out loud or not, you should read the first two chapters before reading any others. Dire consequences won�t result if you decide not to, but those chapters lay a pretty good foundation for everything else you find in the book.

Windows Vista Unveiled



"This book is a record of my in-depth exploration of several prerelease versions of Windows Vista, Microsoft's next major operating system (OS) and the successor to Windows XP. Don't have Windows Vista yet? That's not a problem because this is not a "how-to" book. Instead, it's more of a "what-is" book. That is, Windows Vista Unveiled takes you on a detailed tour of all the new and improved technologies, features, tools, and programs that the Microsoft programmers have stitched into the Vista fabric.

You'll learn not only what features are new in Vista, but also why they're important (or not), who they were designed for, and how they will affect your computing life. My goal is to give you an exhaustive sneak preview of Vista's innovations and changes so that by the end of the book you know whether Vista is for you and what to expect when you sit down in front of this new OS.

All writers write with an audience in mind. Actually, I'm not sure whether that's true for novelists and poets and the like, but it should be true for any technical writer who wants to create a useful and comprehensible book. Here are the members of my own imagined audience:
- IT professionals
- Developers
- Power users
- Business users
- Road warriors
- Small business owners
- Multimedia users
- Gamers
