Towards the end of the year a 53 year old friend who had never owned a computer acquired a laptop with Windows Vista. He found it confusing, cluttered and the IE was cluttered with toolbars and adware and overall it was not easy and intuitive. I installed Kubuntu with just a few icons on the desktop for browser, skype, home folder and wordprocesser. Browser defaults to nice uncluttered Google as a homepage. He was thrilled, despite the fact that wireless stopped working an hour after starting to use Kubuntu due to a stuff-up in the firmware that came with the Linux driver and I haven't been able to fix that yet.
