I bought a legitimate copy of Vista with the thought that I should own one legitimate copy of Microsoft's OS. From this I learned two things:
a) I now use Ubuntu linux as much as humanely possible. The ability to plug a network cable in and have it say "Hey! A network! We should talk" is bliss and joy, compared to Vista.
b) I plan on going back to stealing Microsoft products, because the stolen ones are so much easier to install, and you DO have to install it so many damn times. I feel horribly cheated that I paid good money for Vista, and not being in the US paid more than everyone else.
Probably a good thing they're discontinuing support for the version of Windows between XP and 7... (the quote in The Register's article on the topic didn't mention the word "Vista")
