>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?

Windows 7 has already been releasd to manufacturing so it will be out in a couple of weeks....no real point in wasting yer time with Vista.
