Ingenious Tips and Tricks, Disarming Humor
Sebastopol, CA—Windows 7 is the best-reviewed, best-loved Microsoft operating system ever. It brings you security, speed, good looks, and several trillion new features—but it still comes without a single page of printed instructions. Fortunately, award-winning author and New York Times columnist David Pogue is back, ready to serve as your clear, funny, expert guide with Windows 7: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly Media, $39.99 USD).
"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.
