Don't waste your time on Vista. Go for Windows 7.
Internet is your book. Goggle if you've a question. That's what I do. :)

>I got (just today) a new notebook with Vista 64 installed. I will be getting Win 7 update when released. Is Vista and Win 7 much different from the end-user stand point? Therefore, should I get a book on learning Win 7 (if they are available) or book on Vista?
