You know what they say: Windows Vista is "so easy that your grandpa can use
it".

Now, if only grandpa was a command-line expert and googled his bizarre network
problems...

| In conclusion, the experience I just had with Windows Vista has lowered my 
| opinion of Microsoft by 50%. My laptop runs XP and has 512 MB, and it's 
| really fast! Vista's minimum is supposed to be 1 GB, but it should still run 
| at least decently at half of that! But no, it doesn't. Microsoft, you have 
| disappointed me.

| It seems as if the Dutch are tired of Microsoft's finest breaking all the 
| time, and they've set up a hotline for consumers complaining about Windows 
| Vista.  
| 
| [..]
| 
| Apparently the Consumentenbond (Office of Fair Trading) is vastly unimpressed 
| by the fact that it's difficult to buy a new computer without Windows Vista, 
| and that the very same operating system causes such a high number of 
| problems, which the average user is not equipped to deal with.   
| 
| If the Consumentenbond finds that too many people are having problems with 
| Windows Vista, it may elect to start legal proceedings against Microsoft.
