Windows Vista Secrets SP1 Edition on the way…

Oct. 22, 2008 Paul Thurrott | Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows

My wife and I are getting ready to ship out copies of Windows Vista Secrets SP1 Edition to the people who won the giveaways I’ve had so far here on the site, on Twitter, and via the Windows Weekly podcast. I have 30 copies on hand currently. (Well, 29. I gave one to my mom.) But I’m expecting another 30 soon, so when I get from PDC I can start giving away another 25 or so.

Here’s what 29 copies of Windows Vista Secrets SP1 Edition looks like.

All joking aside, the publishing business is a tough nut to crack. Congrats.

And now it's time to get started on "Windows 7 Secrets" and "Windows Stratus Secrets"

Oops, typed the rumored codename wrong. That should be "Windows Strata Secrets"

I trust those copies are on a soundly-built part of the floor. The thing is heavy (and good, so far as I've gotten into it).

Although Paul has it up on the main SuperSite, it's probably worth mentioning here on the blog that you can download Chapter 18 "Using Tablet PCs and Ultra-Mobile PCs" at http://www.winsupersite.com/book/

au071 Just as a bit of trivia but Microsoft's ebook reading software's icon is a letter r with leaves to reflect saving trees.

I have a hint for the next Windows 7 secrets: no more paper. A cd or a pdf (not for free both of course) to surf on a notebook or a desktop pc. It could be cool.

>> it's probably worth mentioning here on the blog that you can download Chapter 18 "Using Tablet PCs and Ultra-Mobile PCs"<< It's a pretty ironic title because...almost no one does. >>Microsoft's ebook reading software's icon is a letter r with leaves to reflect saving trees.<< Something else pretty much no one uses. Mobipocket and Ereader are pretty good though.

Congrats Paul, but now I know why you posted so much Apple stuff lately, to get hits to promote the book. Dude, you are brilliant, even if you meant every word!

Gorath is right. Man is that book thick. I'll support you Paul. I'm asking my wife to get me a copy for XMAS. It will prepare me for when my friends call to ask questions. I learned quite a bit about XP, but I have very little Vista experience [although all of it has been good] but I can use more info. Again, congrats. Doc

I leafed through a copy of the book at a store today, and good god, there's hardly any mention of OS X. Is this man biased or what? ;-p <- all forgiving winking tongue pointing smiley/emoticon/whatever of forgiveness.

Congratulations on finishing the book, Paul. Provided it is available in the UK, I will be suggesting this title to anyone looking for a book on Vista :-) Matt

mdsharpe, I'm certain it is available in the UK, I was leafing through a copy just recently. At least I think I was.

I understand you're doing the Audible version now. Get to work!

I certainly would not want an audio tech book.

E M E R G E N C Y !!! >>Microsoft said late Wednesday that it plans to break out of its monthly patch cycle to issue a security update today for a critical vulnerability in all supported versions of Windows. Redmond rarely releases security patches outside of Patch Tuesday, the second Tuesday of each month. The software giant isn't providing many details yet, but the few times it has departed from its Patch Tuesday cycle it has always done so to stop the bleeding on a serious security hole that criminals were using to break into Windows PCs on a large scale.<<
