Windows Vista is Microsoft’s most important software release in more than a decade. It offers users an abundance of new and upgraded features that were more than five years in the making: a gorgeous, glass-like visual overhaul; superior searching and organization tools; a multimedia and collaboration suite; and above all, a massive, top-to-bottom security-shield overhaul.

But when users first encounter this beautiful new operating system, there’

Compared to industrial-strength database products such as Microsoft’s SQL Server, Access is a breeze to use. It runs on PCs rather than servers and is ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses and households. But Access is still intimidating to learn. It doesn’t help that each new version crammed in yet another set of features; so many, in fact, that even the pros don’t know where to find them all.
