Before buying any book tell your friend to press the F1 key wherever the
mouse point is focused and read everything.

As far as I'm concerned, the best by far is "Windows Vista Inside Out"
by Ed Bott, Cark Siechert, and Craig Stinson.

I own that and I also own the Pogue book. The Pogue book isn't bad,
but nowhere near as good as the Inside Out one.
