5 out of 5 stars For experienced Users   August 23, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Perfect reference manual for the experienced IT person. As always, Microsoft has kept up the quality of their Resource Kits.

Beginners, or light users, this book is not for you. It is not a learning tool, rather it is a wonderful, complete, reference guide.



4 out of 5 stars Pretty solid content with an odd flow   June 27, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

The Vista RK is full of good information that can be difficult to find in other places. However, it being a MS book, some of the content comes directly from MS whitepapers. The deployment content seems very disorganized although most of the needed content is included in one section or another. Still a very useful resource for anyone supporting Vista.


5 out of 5 stars VISTA Resource Kit - Book   June 12, 2007
 11 out of 14 found this review helpful

One of the first good, early reference manuals for Windows VISTA which I purchased in May, 2007. There will be better ones, perhaps, after more of the problems in VISTA become known. As of now, this is the best book out there.


4 out of 5 stars Great for Enterprise implementations, not for home or enthusiasts   May 28, 2007
 23 out of 23 found this review helpful

The Vista Resource Kit is a decent resource for Enterprise Class customers. Unfortunately, past product resource kits did not focus entirely upon the enterprise distribution functionality, and could be used to benefit the management of stand-alone systems.

Much of this edition requires the use of Ultimate, Business, or Enterprise editions of Vista. Implementation focuses upon group policy management in lieu of more detail access to registry settings, as was done in prior resource kits.

It is still a valuable tool, but if you are an individual user looking for detail insight of the funtionality and control of the Vista operating system, you will need to look for another book.




5 out of 5 stars Dig in   May 25, 2007

Vista Resource Kit isn't exactly the kind of book you sit down and read cover to cover. There are better books for that purpose. What this book is good for - and I'll risk saying exceptional for - is digging in to exactly how things wrok. Great resource for research!
