 Can't get by without this referenceNov 06, 2009

Windows 7 For Dummies Book + DVD bundle (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
I bought the book at the same time I bought the upgrade to Windows 7. I could manage without it and figure everything for myself but I why should I. Using this book is like getting together with some of my computer maven friends for a talk.

 Disappointing if you have used Windows beforeOct 29, 2009
By JM
I found this book to be very disappointing. Most of the information is very basic, and would be common knowledge to anyone who has used a Windows product from the XP version, or even earlier. There is very little information about how Windows 7 might be different then previous versions, and it is buried in basic introduction to Windows explanations.
If you have used XP or Vista, and are looking for a guide about how to make the most of Windows 7 without trudging through Windows 101, check out Woody Leonhards book, called (somewhat confusingly) Windows 7 All in 1 for Dummies. Its about twice as long, around the same price, and details the improvements of Windows 7 rather then a basic introductory guide to Windows in general.

Great BookAug 31, 2010
By Yankee Fan
This book is really informative. The instructions are very detailed but easy to follow. It tells everything about Windows 7 and teaches you what you want to know. I have learned to do a lot of things I didn't know how to do before. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs help to understand Windows 7. It's opened up a lot of features on my computer that I couldn't perform before. I am very happy with this book.

Book and DVD for W7 for DummiesJan 17, 2011
By Paul Brooks
I suspect that many experienced computer users assume that they can figure out the new Windows 7 operating system without any outside help. After all each revision of Windows is an evolution of the previous version from the team at Microsoft. To a certain extent this is true, it's that uncertain extent that is the problem.
In my opinion W7 is more that just a minor upgrade from XP it's a major revision and thoughtful computer users would be prudent to invest a few dollars learning all the new tips and tricks.
After I upgraded to W7 I purchased two popular guides to the new OS - "Teach Yourself Visually Microsoft Windows 7" and" Windows 7 for Dummies. Both books are good but the Dummies book is superior for the following reasons. It covers more aspects of the new OS in greater depth, utilizes the user friendly "Dummies" tutorial method and it is written by Andy Rathbone an experience author who has written all the previous edition of Windows for Dummies. The book comes with a video DVD that presents the major changes in W7 using easy to follow animated illustration narrated by author Rathbone.
I highly recommend this item for new computer users and old pros alike.
