The Windows Vista User Guide is split into a few smaller guides to help you on your path to learning the Windows Vista operating system. The first guide takes the begginers topics and sets them out into a guide that does not include any administrative or very technical features. The second guide is for the more advanced users familiar with Windows XP and maybe even administrative topics with XP or other operating systems.
To start, however, heres a small guide on the different features of each edition of Windows Vista:
