If you think Vista or, for that matter, any other software product is a bitch, check out this video:

I may be showing my age here but back in Junior High, I took an elective class on computers. We had to fill out fortran stock cards and fill out those bubbles. Took a lot of effort, and correct card sequencing, to get a "Hello, World." The teacher would get all the cards from us, put them in the school's mail sack, it will get to a central location with the minicomputer, and they would print out the results in those huge ass pieces of green and white print paper, and send it back. Total elapsed time: 3 to 4 days.
Kinda puts things in perspective whenever I feel my laptop's CPU is lagging
