Vista: The zero after-sales support OS.
LOL! and the WiNuTs have the cheek to say Linux has no support.
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
$250 per *year* for Ubuntu, versus $59 per *incident* for Windows!!!

Even then Microsoft still don't offer "anything approaching a guaranteed
fix". And I wonder how many Vista users will only have 4 support
incidents per year ... four *hundred* more like.
First you pay through the nose for a b0rken OS you don't want, then you
have to pay through the nose just to get support for that b0rken OS,
without any guarantee that this "support" will even yield a resolution.
Good thing for MS that there's a sucker born every minute.
