Currently we are enjoying the various joys of Windows Vista on my boss' new Vaio. He also got a virus by email (was it an office file attachment?) within the first week. The IT people could not locate how to add a printer, etc., but hey, they have been dumbed down after months upon months of servicing Windows installations, no?
Servicing Windows installations requires its own way of doing things. Expertise levels depend on how much effort is put in to learn more.
By the way, I told my boss that his computer was slower as Vista needed to spy on him to check if he wasn't stealing music (him!?) or videos (what, him!!!?) etc.
Is he using vista ready hardware?
So he asked me why, and I told him that Vista is essential to entertainment companies, whose recommendation is essential to get Vista sold! And guess which electronics giant would be benefited the most by foisting Vista compulsorily on each new computer sold? No dropping names, guys! They might install a root kit on you at some movie theatre some day.
One day while we are watching movies, the spy software will be hypnotized into our brain and we may not even be aware of it. ;)
