pretty much. I mean, think of the main problems people have with vista versus XP:
Compatability with their XP apps
User account control
Sluggish performance
Driver signing requirement
WinFS is MIA
if the people know enough about the two latter to give half a shit than they wouldn't have fallen for the experiment in the first goddamn place, so lets strike those,
The sluggish performance and hardware incompatibility are completely obliterated in a closed environment.
the UAC and XP app compatibility are solved by the presence of a computer technician standing right next to them teaching them how to solve the problems.
I have a few friends who LOVE vista because I was there to solve all of their problems for them, they absolutely hated it before.
Don't get me wrong,though, I love my vista OS (actually I am running a legit copy of Server2008x64 because they tell you on their trial site how to get a 240+ day trial for FREE)
