"Already it's clear that Windows 7 is the best-reviewed, best-loved, and just plain best version of Windows ever," says Pogue. "I thought it deserved the full Pogue treatment: ingenious tips and tricks, disarming humor, 500 illustrations, oustanding index, spectacular clarity of writing, and, of course, complete modesty. :) "
With this book, you'll find the important stuff you need to know:
- The new features. The pop-up taskbar. Libraries and jump lists. Internet TV. Touchscreen gestures. Aero Peek, Snap, and Shake. If Microsoft wrote it, this book covers it.
- Security. Protect your PC from viruses, spyware, spam, phishing scams, sick hard drives, and out-of-control kids.
- The network. Homegroups, connecting from the road, mail, Web, music streaming among PCs?this book has your network covered.
- The software. Media Center, Photo Gallery, Internet Explorer, Windows Live services, speech recognition.
This jargon-free book explains Windows 7 features so clearly—revealing which work well and which don't—that it should have been in the box in the first place.
