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.
通常,我們嘗試著重于有關如何自定義計算機的文章,但是今天我們將休息一會兒并進行書評。 這是我之前從未做過的事情,因此任何建議或問題都會在評論中受到歡迎。

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.
關于備份和還原計算機,以及在出現問題或整個系統崩潰時的處理方法,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? =)
壞人該書本可以將更多的重點放在萬一間諜軟件泛濫的情況下該怎么辦,這對于普通用戶來說是一個更為常見的問題。 此外,也沒有提到“如何做極客”……這是怎么回事? =)
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.
底線本書為經驗不足的用戶提供了一個很好的指南,幫助您保護計算機的安全并進行備份。 實際上,它既不適合極客或不熟悉計算機的人。
Overview
總覽
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.
本書從面向初學者的幾章開始:解釋了諸如計算機內部結構……硬盤驅動器,位,字節,處理器等之類的基本概念。接著介紹了無線的工作原理,并介紹了操作系統和操作系統的基礎知識。軟件。
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.
下一節將為讀者提供反病毒,間諜軟件,防火墻的概述,以及使用正確密碼的重要性。 對于新手來說,這里有一些很好的信息,盡管我個人認為考慮到這一領域對于普通用戶而言是最大的問題,可能還有更多信息。
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.
本書使用Windows備份和系統還原功能進一步介紹了備份領域。 從作者從系統還原到重新安裝和還原備份的過程中,作者將逐步指導您進行備份,自動備份以及計算機崩潰時應采取的措施,這確實是本書的最佳部分。
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.
本書的最后一部分介紹了如何使用外部硬盤驅動器或“輕松傳輸”電纜過程從舊的XP計算機遷移到新的Vista計算機。
