The Atrium

Even if you're not a geek you've probably heard some of the buzz about Vista, the new Microsoft Windows Operating System. It's taken more than five years, but Microsoft has finally declared Vista to be complete and it will be available on January 30. This means all new PCs will be sold loaded with Vista.

You can also update your current Windows operating system to Vista, but should you upgrade? It's quite a debate and you can read about it here and here.

Whatever you decide, you know you can count on the Grand Rapids Public Library to provide you with plenty of easy-to-use books on learning Vista and other computer stuff (and we promise not to call you a dummy, even if you check out one of those many "Dummies" and "Idiots" books).

Here's a few Vista titles, with more coming in every week:
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Windows Vista
Easy Microsoft Windows Vista
Windows Vista for Dummies
