 Handy to have at hand
I'm a big fan of stanek's pocket consultant guide series. Stanek knows Windows better than anyone else on the planet and better still, he's not afraid to share everything he knows in his books. Like his other books, the Vista pocket consultant is clear, concise, and packed with helpful advice. This is one you'll use and refer to often.

Excellent book chock full of support advice!
I love William Stanek's books. Like his others, every chapter and almost every section of Windows Vista Admin Pocket Consultant has helpful tips and advice for support and troubleshooting. The last 100 pages cover advanced, support and troubleshooting exclusively. A MUST have for admin and developers.

 No experience ( jindrichnemec )
In the ideal operating system, there will be no problems to solve. This book is written for the such error-free OS. I decided to buy this publication because I needed to get some insight how the Vista works and how to solve daily problems. The whole book seems to me as the author mostly describes what he sees on the screen. With no additional insight, with no useful tips and trick, no internal principles explained or Vista concept mentioned in more deep.
I was looking for publication where the Vista OS topics are presented in more detail. This book has a label "Administrator pocket consultant". But if you would like to use this book while solving some Vista problem, forget it. The book can be used as the monitor stand, maybye. At least, the size of this book is okay.

The Best
I purchased Stanek's XP Pro Pocket Consultant and found it to be an immeasurable help in my work with an XP OS. Now I find myself servicing more Vista machines and once again Stanek's Vista Pocket Consultant has be an immeasurable help. The book is an easy read and comprehensive. Filled with facts that show you how to get a Vista machine (stand-alone or Domain) installed and configured, using reference tables, instructions, list,etc... Definitely a handy book to have. Every Vista tech should include this book in his/her Vista library.

 windows vista administrator's pocket book ( marcandre9 )
If you are already into Windows XP Pro, this book will take you to the next level. Good book, well written, with lots of new techniques.
If Microsoft does not dump Vista in the near future, buy the book.
