Re:My Vista experience... (Score 1)

was extremely satisfying:

1. Bought a new PC from $BIG_BOX_RETAILER, took it home and plugged it in.
2. Turned it on.
3. Clicked the "Okay" button until I got to the screen where I had to read a novel-length license agreement through a 3-by-4 inch scroll window.
4. Said "bugger this for a lark" in my best fake British accent, inserted my freshly-burned Fedora 8 DVD and power-cycled the machine.
5. Gleefully formatted the entire disk as ext3 (plus a swap partition, natch) and imagined Vista screaming as I plowed its broken bits under my mighty array of disk heads.

Don't forget Penny Arcade's opinion of broken systems:
