No I will not fix your Vista computer

I have previously blogged about my gentle refusal to help windows users with problems on their computer.

However recently I have been getting extremely frustrated with Windows to the point where there is just no fun in diagnosing and fixing problems. I get almost no satisfaction out of reoslving Windows issues. I can forsee more requests coming in as people buy new machines, or upgrade existing hardware to Microsoft Vista.

So I have decided that rather than helping some friends & family, and not others, I will do the decent thing, and not help any of them if they choose to install Vista. I think this gives me a nice cut-off point, beyond which I have no responsibility for providing assistance.

Of course, if they install Ubuntu (or any other Linux variant for that matter) I will go out of my way to help them, and will of course continue to encourage them to do that.
