Nurse 1: Did your husband get that new Vista?
Nurse 2: He did alright.
Nurse 1: So did mine and he hates it.
Nurse 2: Why’s that?

People like this, have no right to mess around with operating systems.
Microsoft should put a warning on the box. Or wrap their more technical software in idiot-proof packaging. Think prescription medication. “Warning, keep out of reach from idiots. In fact, give this to your children, they will probably have a better idea of what to do with it.”
There should be a computer competency test of some kind before you are allowed to make the purchase of an operating system. It would probably save Microsoft some money in their technical support areas.
