Personal Review: Windows Vista: The L Line, The Express Line
to Learning (The L Line: The Express Line To Learning) by
Michael Meskers
I am an author of technical books myself, having written five up to this
point. I can tell that this author put in the time and effort to create an
excellent reference that really covers what you'll really use in the operating
system. The "Information Kiosks" are superb. You can really go through
the book quickly - reading just the Kiosks - and get a lot of value right
away. The shortcut key for accessing the traditional File, View, Edit, etc.
menus in the Information Kiosk on page 90 was worth the price of the book

to me. I didn't know that one and I pride myself on knowing valuable
keyboard shortcuts (sorry, I'm an old DOS geek).
The "Street Jargon" sections at the end of each chapter should probably
be read first - just my suggestion. This section defines new terms
introduced in the chapter and knowing their definitions in advance will be
very helpful. I'm sure the author would have placed them at the beginning
given a choice, but this series by Wiley already has the structure fixed in
place.
The section on Networking with Windows Vista (pages 325 to 335) provide
an excellent, to-the-point understanding of how to configure a wireless or
wired connection. No fluff, just the steps.
I used Chapter 9 to learn how to use the non-technical features of Vista
like photo editing and the photo gallery. Us Information Technology people
tend to learn about the "under-the-hood" features and not spend the time
discovering these great tools. Actually, this book is aimed more at a Vista
user than a Vista support professions, but it is filled with vast amounts of
information for the support professional too. Trust me, your users will want
to know the great shortcuts provided in this book.
I could go on-and-on about what I like in this book, but suffice it to say: I
feel that, if you don't read this book, you don't know everything you need to
know about Windows Vista.
Have a great summer everyone. - Tom Carpenter - Author: Wireless#,
