Windows 8 Simplified
I recently bought a copy of Paul McFedries' book, Microsoft Windows 8
Simplified, and have found it very useful. I'm getting my brain tuned for using Windows 8 and this book has really helped. Has anyone else reviewed this book? Is there another book that would be a better choice? I have no vested interest in this book or any other books but I am curious as to what most of you use as a training manual. Gordon

Windows 8 Simplified
Hi, Gordon.
For the past few Windows (XP, Vista and 7), I've relied on the Windows Inside Out series from Microsoft Press, written by Ed Bott and colleagues. I see that Windows 8 Inside Out has just been released: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_pr...nside-out.aspx It is by Tony Northrup; I don't know Tony but it is from Microsoft Press so it should be authoritative. Win7 IO included the entire book on disk; the Win8 version is also available in Ebook form. A few hours (or days) invested in studying a good Windows reference book should pay dividends, not just for today but for as long as we keep using a computer - which just might be for the rest of our life!

Thanks, RC. I've printed a copy of the link below and will take it to
the local Barnes & Nobel Book Store the next time I'm in that area. Gordon On Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:45:44 -0600, "R. C. White" wrote: Hi, Gordon.

This was the same byte size as above and the MD5 hash is EA77210F187EC079418F88DE444E3958.
