"When Microsoft brings out a new operating system, it's always nice to know that you can actually take advantage of it. Sure, you're used to whatever you currently have, which is most likely Windows XP, but you also know that sooner or later, something new will come along that requires the new operating system. So when Vista finally shipped, I decided that the time had come. I'd upgrade one of the machines in the back room."

This article makes the upgrade process seem extremely painful. Because it was, really; mostly due to the writer foolishly wasting time with the recommendations, marketing and "support" of Microsoft, Symantec, and HP.
Sure, the guy should have known upgrading a Windows install instead of starting fresh was a big no-no, but still... I somehow expected a lot more Mac and Linux zealots in this thread, mentioning how the problems in the article wouldn't be cropping up on an alternative platform...
Perhaps the zealots are losing their zeal?
