PC Magazine Windows Vista Solutions
Computer expert and teacher Mark Justice Hinton has written PC Magazine Windows Vista Solutions (Wiley Publishing, ISBN 0470046864). This book details Microsoft’s newest operating system. Hinton has taught thousands of UNM Continuing Education students over 19 years, sometimes with wit and wisdom, a bit of which appears in his book along with much that is practical.
Hinton says, “The book takes the reader through selecting one of the editions and choosing an upgrade path where appropriate. Chapters cover configuration, security, the new interface improvements and an introduction to the major applications including the new Photo Gallery. There is also a chapter introducing Office 2007′s changes and an appendix about setting up virtual machines. I think there is something in this book for both beginners and more advanced users.”
