A friend of mine brought over a Dell laptop for me to try to fix that is a nice machine. It came with Vista Ultimate installed. He hated Vista so much we put Ubuntu on it. He brought the original Dell recovery disks. We did a fresh clean install, and downloaded over 160 updates. Once all the updates are installed Vista will just blue screen and re-boot. We throw in the recovery disk and repair, and more updates. It has been at least 4 cycles and it finally looks like the updates are done and it boots without a blue screen.
The ONLY thing he wants to do with Vista is run iTunes and sync his 3 iPhones, 2iPads, 4iPods and Apple TV at his house. His entire family has the iBug, but he does not want to buy an Apple laptop. He does not want to spend the money to buy a Win7.
Now we will install Ubuntu on it again and make it a dual boot computer. He uses Ubuntu most of the time but Ubuntu will not run iTunes.
