Comments about Microsoft Press Windows® 7 Step by Step:
I've been using Windows since version 3.11 and, over the years, I've learned my fair share of tricks. My intentions when first reading this book were to evaluate it for its ability to help newer Windows users; however, as I read it, I learned a LOT myself. Over the years you tend to stick with your ways of doing things and this book helped me realize how a lot of the things I used to do manually in Windows are now automated and easier.
This book is great and is a good fit for users of all skill levels.
