I find Ubuntu Linux to be far more user-friendly than Vista. It had gotten to the point that I dreaded turning on my system in the morning under Vista. I never know what little program, I may have installed, that may have messed up the bootup and thus caused a BSOD and I'd be forced to reinstall yet again. I think that with many it is too late for even SP1 to do any real good since this version of Windows is so poorly written and buggy. There is far too much irrelevant iCandy in it as well. There are also far too many apologists around who love to blame the victim.
