"My friend had almost given up and was about to just buy McAffee
1-year subscription and bear the slow Vista. He said that he will
upgrade to more RAM after a month or two of saving. It was then
that I pitched in and suggested him to give Mandriva 2008 Spring a
try. Now he is not afraid of Linux and said that if all the
peripherals worked good and the speed is better than Vista, he will
consider Ubuntu."
