Especially when he wants to install programming tools. The most problem is when he wants to install Borland C++ 5.0. May be its because the BC++ 5.0 is an ancient sofware.. :) my friend have many problems with his Vista. Especially when he wants to install programming tools.

Is it easier for a dev to setup than XP (or similar)? @Vox - I have no desire to get Visual Studio 2008 running in WINE just to say I run *nix. None at all! Vista > Bob -- there truly are some innovative and useful features (the launch/start combo thing being huge in my book). But for some uses or needs it just doesn't seem fully baked. :-\ @Marc – do you do .NET development on it? Is it easier for a dev to setup than XP (or similar)?

Vista is the modern equivalent to MSBob...and to think that when they first started talking about all the stuff it'd have, I was actually looking forward to taking a look at it....and when I finally touched it...I realized that MSBob had been reborn.
