书评：Just the Computer Essentials（Vista）

Normally we try and focus on articles about how to customize your computer, but today we’ll take a break from that and do a book review. This is something I’ve not done before, so any suggestions or questions will be welcomed in the comments.

The Good
善良

There’s tons of good information on backing up and restoring your computer, and what to do in the event of a problem or total system crash.
关于备份和还原计算机，以及在出现问题或整个系统崩溃时的处理方法，都有大量的有用信息。
The BadThe book could have focused more on what to do in the event of a massive spyware infestation, a much more common problem for regular users. Also, there’s no mention of the How-To Geek… what’s up with that? =)
坏人该书本可以将更多的重点放在万一间谍软件泛滥的情况下该怎么办，这对于普通用户来说是一个更为常见的问题。此外，也没有提到“如何做极客”……这是怎么回事？ =)
The Bottom LineThis book is an excellent guide for less experienced users to keeping your computer safe and backed up. It’s really not geared towards either geeks or people unfamiliar with computers.
底线本书为经验不足的用户提供了一个很好的指南，帮助您保护计算机的安全并进行备份。实际上，它既不适合极客或不熟悉计算机的人。

Overview

总览

The book starts out with some chapters geared towards beginners: explaining basic concepts such as computer internals… hard drives, bits, bytes, processors, etc. It moves on to an explanation of how wireless works, and moves into the basics of operating systems and software.

本书从面向初学者的几章开始：解释了诸如计算机内部结构……硬盘驱动器，位，字节，处理器等之类的基本概念。接着介绍了无线的工作原理，并介绍了操作系统和操作系统的基础知识。软件。

The next section gives the reader an overview of anti-virus, spyware, firewalls and the importance of using good passwords. There’s some good information here for novices, although personally I think there could have been more considering this area is the biggest problem for regular users.

下一节将为读者提供反病毒，间谍软件，防火墙的概述，以及使用正确密码的重要性。对于新手来说，这里有一些很好的信息，尽管我个人认为考虑到这一领域对于普通用户而言是最大的问题，可能还有更多信息。

The book moves further into the area of backups, using Windows backup and system restore. This is really the best part of the book, as the author walks you through what to backup and how to automate it, as well as what you should do when your computer crashes, from System Restore down to reinstalling and restoring backups.

本书使用Windows备份和系统还原功能进一步介绍了备份领域。从作者从系统还原到重新安装和还原备份的过程中，作者将逐步指导您进行备份，自动备份以及计算机崩溃时应采取的措施，这确实是本书的最佳部分。

The final section of the book explains how to migrate from an old XP computer to your new Vista computer, using either an external hard drive or the “Easy Transfer” cable process.

本书的最后一部分介绍了如何使用外部硬盘驱动器或“轻松传输”电缆过程从旧的XP计算机迁移到新的Vista计算机。
