Reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch takes less time than installing IE7.

Could you assure us with some reliable statistics, rather than your opinion?

79% of all people who bought Vista had issues.
43% of those people are computer illiterate and had a "computer friend" come
over and fix it for them.
21% of the people with issues know how to find this newsgroup.
64% of people with computer related jobs who have not seen Vista have spent
some time looking for information about it.
37% of people who have issues simply ignore them, and find another way to do
what they were trying to do if they really needed to do it.
23% of all newsgroup posters are simply bored and looking for someone to
annoy.
49.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
