Common knowledge: Vista = trouble
I'm actually surprised by the number of common people who DO know that Vista has problems.
Only last week, I was asked out-of-the-blue by my 60-year old dentist what I thought about Vista.
I said "There are some technical issues that deter me from wanting to use it right now."
His response was "Well I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Bloody useless rubbish."
Then his nurse interjected with "Oh yes, my son-in-law has had a nightmare with Vista lately...." etc.
I also was talking to a lawyer recently who asked me where he could buy new laptop without Vista installed on it.
I guess M$'s marketing dept has succeeded in getting Vista to the top of everyone's agenda, just not in the way they wanted!
