If the guy hates Vista that much I think he should stay with XP or
Linux.
It seems to me like most of his complaints are based on Vista not
having his preferences as defaults.
Some of his complaints are that it is too different and some that it is
too much like XP.
Come on mister, make a choice.
In my experience Vista does present a steep learning curve but so does
Linux, also XP when it came out.
Vista is not a good OS to upgrade to unless you have a capable computer
but before long all new computers will be equipped with it so
eventually we'll have to learn to like it or fall by the wayside.

"or fall by the wayside"? I don't think so.
My next computer is going to be a Mac, hands down. We have one in the
house already, my son has one for his high school. He has had it since
last August, without a need to reboot it even once. The damed machine
just works, ... and how. I have been borrowing it from him for a bunch
of stuff.
Oh, I was at MacWorld last week (I live in San Francisco), the iPhone is
so cool, it's unreal. All those "smart phones" with their stupid little
keyboards are soooo dead! Palm Treo anyone, I don't think so.
What I have seen of Vista is so lame, I can leave it easily, without
"falling by the wayside".
The Leopard rocks!
If he does not like vista he can get one of the new Macs, and use the
Mac OS for secure mail and web browsing with no virus problems, and
Windows or linux for special programs.
Yup, that's my plan for my next hardware purchase. I'm having a hard
time seeing a down-side to that. Although, I don't see any point
installing Linux on a Mac hardware, when MacOSX is a perfectly
functional Unix system already.
