Welcome to Windows Vista Secrets, the latest in the bestselling Windows Secrets series!
We’ve  rewritten  this  book  from  the  ground  up  in  response  to  this  major  release  of Microsoft  Windows.  We  hope  you  enjoy  combing  through  this  book  as  much  as  we enjoyed digging through Windows Vista to find these nuggets of valuable information.
