On: Is Vista a Trap?

This article is just as inexplicably Vista-bashing as almost everything the BBC has to say about Vista. But this is the bit that gets me most:

The detail is tedious and highly technical: reinstalling drivers and router firmware didn't work, but after many trial and error tweaks to Vista's TCP/IP settings, I had internet access. So he had to tweak Vista's TCP/IP settings to get on the internet? Exactly how is this Vista's fault? I cannot think of any explanation for this other than that he has a wrongly configured network, or doesn't know how the network is configured. Either way, he would have the same issues with any OS.
