微软发布的《Windows Vista Product Guide》

微软员工Keith Combs近日发布了Word版《Windows Vista Product Guide Beta 2》，这本电子书图文并茂，针对Windows Vista的诸多特性功能进行了详细全面的讲解，并针对重点新特性深入分析阐述。

　　Keith Combs此前曾经发布过这本电子书的.xps版本，受到不少阅读者好评。不过，阅读.xps版本必须安装WinFX以获得XMP格式支持，因此他决定推出这本电子书的Word版本－－大小达到60MB。

　　有趣的是，这本电子书下载地址来自微软官方网站，不仅下载速度让人满意（100K以上），还具有了某种“官方性质”

两种格式 大小不一
