Do not understand me wrong, I like Vista because it looks great and for a beginner is above user-friendly but (there is a but!) for an advanced user may be, from time to time nothing but trouble. I encountered lots and lots of problems starting with permissions to copy, move or delete files and folders and ending with his stubbornness to uninstall software.
