I’m not really impressed with this publication. As for going through the motions of making an OS work, it’s fine. I was hoping for a book/DVD that would help with problems/trouble shooting of the Winows7 OS. It failed miserably. And, believe me, this OS needs all the help it can get. It is very difficult for me to understand how MicroSoft found it in their hearts to release this version in it’s present, no good, sorry, unusuable state (I guess money and greed still prevail in Redmond, WA). But, alas, I veer from the reason for this review…sorry ’bout that. As for the book/DVD bundle, it will not help you find and succsessly diagnose problem in Window7. It only tells you how to navigate through it. When you run into a problem, the book does not cover it. Don’t waste your money on this one. If you need “problem solving” help, find something else.

This book is helpful, however, not as good as Mr. Rathbone has done in the past! I may find in the weeks to come that I am wrong, because I haven’t referenced a lot of things in there yet!

As far I have read the book it has several examples and good explanations of certain features of the new OS Windows 7 but for me, what I’m looking for is not crearly explained. However book is good and think I can get more from it. Good Purchase.

I am sorry. I have just tried several tasks, none of which worked as explained in this book. The index is horrible — virtually useless for finding anything on even the simplest topics. The illustrations are so small and blurry you can barely make them out.
I don’t know what else to recommend, but better to fiddle around yourself than trying to get anything done with this book — which is what I have had to do. I would like to get my money back but I don’t know if it is possible.
