Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

...even if most Windows 10 users didn't receive their software in a box.. Technology consumers are by now nearly immune to the lack of documentation that accompanies both hardware and software, and power users have long resigned themselves to online searches or aftermarket solutions to satisfy their need for reference materials. Since my first purchase of a "Missing Manual" title many years ago, O'Reilly has come through with quality books that will help baffled users with both the everyday and arcane tasks their tools perform. I was more than than two months into my Windows 10 experience when this book arrived..and it still began an immediate return on investment. For those who have discovered the hidden powers (and increased efficiency) of keyboard shortcuts, go straight to the back of the book: Appendix D constraints an outstanding list of keyboard shortcuts that can wean you from the tyranny of the mouse. Leading up to this, author David Pogue provides a 6-part, 21-chapter outline of the new, the good (and the puzzling) in Windows 10. The illustrations are greyscale --but detailed-- and the writing is personable without trying too hard to be entertaining. As with the appendices, some of its most useful content resides in the thorough index in the final pages of the book. Although I have not embraced the Cortana AI voice interface that is a major feature of Windows 10, the book does an excellent job of helping those so inclined how to use it (her?) to their advantage. One of the Missing Manual series enduring features, the online content known as the the "Missing CD-ROM" is still in a "coming soon" status as of this review's publication date. If you are going to have just one Windows 10 title on your reference shelf: this is a good option.
