In another place where I hang out, there's been quite a few comments by
ordinary power users and even Microsofties that indicate a high level
of unhappiness about Vista* and comments roughly 90% in favour of
sticking with XP and 10% interested in making the great leap to Linux.

I remember there was some minor complaints about the 2K->XP switch, but
nothing on this scale. Something about Vista is really annoying people;
not that I would know anything about why.

*: Have I told the story yet about how I found my name listed on work's
   project list next to "Vista" and nearly had a heart attack before I
   realised they meant webct vista ?
