Description
The Perfect Reference for the Multitasked SysAdmin
The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system offers several changes
and improvements over its predecessors. It not only brings a new and redesigned interface, but also improves on many administrative utilities
and management consoles. It also enhances the system's reliability, performance, and problem-solving tools. As administrators, Vista
will sometimes look like its predecessor, Windows XP, and at other times, look like an all-new operating system. How to Cheat will help
you get Vista up and running as quickly and safely as possible and provide you with a solid idea of all the important changes and improvements
the new Microsoft Vista OS has to offer.
