Microsoft software has never been responsible for a single freakin' bit of lost data in decades of total computing effort I've put my own systems through.
I've lost plenty of data to Microsoft software, mostly via the stereotypical crash when you're not done doing whatever it is you're doing.
That aside, Outlook has itself responsible for a vast number of virus epidemics, due to its low default security settings which Home User #53452 has insufficient knowledge to change.
[..]and is only benefitting the big corporations with deep pockets.
And it's going to stay that way as long as the big corporations are the ones funding US politics.
(This isn't meant to be trollish, but some people may consider it so.)
Um... From here, it looks like all the specific upper hosts (like linux.slashdot.org or it.slashdot.org) go to one IP, while all the requests to just "slashdot.org" go to another. So, redirect one to the other, and they'll all be the default colour scheme.
Ah, but the Windows Start Menu can be edited easily using the same basic context menus and drag and drop functionality that fills Windows. Same with the Quick Launch bar (which I love). And in ME and later there's the "hide unused apps" feature, to keep it from being cluttered up.
As new as I am to this lot, I might recommend VB6- if you've got a good copy lying around the place. (I wouldn't go out and buy it, it's far too expensive.) If you think you can get good results with Python, go with it. You'll be much better off teaching something you know, rather than something you've just learned.
If you can't find a suitable programming language, have you thought about teaching him Graphics Monkeying instead? (IE Photoshop/Paintshop Pro/the GIMP) Or even 3d modelling/rendering?
Or a button saying "Yes, I read the agreement", and a textbox where the user must write a brief summary of the terms.:P
You can bring a horse to a lawyer's office, but you can't make it read.:)

It's not that. It's the "We bring you religion, material goods, and also smallpox."
It burns! (Also, my laptop is quite hot.)

Why yes, I frequently get run over by drag cars on my way to work.
Just use your hosts file to redirect it.slashdot.org to slashdot.org.
Where are the studies showing how much money was lost performing studies into how much money was lost to file sharing?
I thought it was an RSS bug. :)
I'm just afraid that The Island is going to suffer from overcrowding with this many people on...
It's already been done. I mean, where did you think marketing executives come from?
Great for car-pooling though.
I hear the syntax for those is nigh impossible to learn, though.
Give ruby a try, but don't expect it to solve all your problems. It will not make breakfast for you in bed or greet you with a kiss.
So, where can I find a programming language that will?
Ahem. Voilà.
Next time, install XPde, and she'll -never- know! *insert evil laugh*

System Shock 2! Linux users need to be scared out of their minds too!
Now, try submitting him for the super-heavyweight class of Robot Wars!
Come on, someone write a webserver in BASIC.
Give it to the caveman who discovered that if he pushed the rock longer, it went further.

And, actually, if you look in the Firefox official extensions download site, there's the Google Toolbar extension submitted by the Google team.
