It’s taken a few weeks, but Amazon.com has finally put up a searchable, fully indexed copy of Windows Vista Inside Out.
I encourage you to compare this book to any other Windows Vista book on the market by using this feature, which lets you examine the table of contents, flip through the index, read a full search for any word or phrase, and read 3 or 4 pages at a time. Click the Search Inside link on Amazon’s product page (just belowe the cover image) to get started
If you already own the book, you don’t have to go to Amazon. A CD bound into the back of every copy includes the full text of the book in PDF format. Open it in Acrobat Reader or Acrobat and use its search tools to find any word or phrase, whether it’s in the printed index or not.

I don’t know if you realize it, Ed, but Microsoft donated 8 copies of Windows Vista Inside Out to the CastleCops 5th Anniversary celebration. (There’s lots of other prizes too, totaling about $220,000 US)
Although there is a limited number of copies of your book in the contest/drawing, there are lots of other prizes. If your readers aren’t lucky enough to score Windows Vista Inside Out, maybe they’ll get second best, as there are 15 copies of Windows Vista Ultimate. 🙂

Got the book as a Valentine’s Day present. 🙂
So far, I’m enjoying it. Will try to leave remarks in Amazon sometime soon.
Definitely a must-have book for anyone with Vista. Anyone. I especially appreciate all the warnings of cautions of what will happen if you do “x”, not to mention recommendations of more powerful third-party software included throughout.
