So tonight ive had the unfortunate displeasure of setting up my mother's new Sony Vaio laptop, running Windoze Vista.

The thing that strikes me about Vista is the hap handed approach to user experience, for example every action seems to require confirmation, and reconfirmation:

Vista: do you really want to run this piece of software?
Me: yes
Vista: really?
Me: yes!
Vista: but you downloaded it from an internet site!!
Me: I KNOW. RUN IT.

Needless to say, removing all the crapware and installing necessary stuff is taking ages. Did i mention the countless restarts?
