First off, why would she be "stuck" with Vista? You DO know she can get an upgrade to Windows 7 and can get one fairly cheap. The excuse that she needs more/better hardware won't fly - Win 7's hardware requirements are actually lower than Vista's.
Secondly, Vista and Windows 7 actually share the same driver model. So your retarded comment that the virus writers can't find drivers is so bleeping wrong on so many levels - it isn't even funny. Since the drivers for Vista and Windows 7 are pretty much interchangeable in most cases, your own tale of woe - having to clean your friend's Vista based system - kinda throws your theory about malware writers not finding drivers out the window.
Furthermore, I just upgraded my system to a new motherboard, CPU and RAM because the old one died after 5 years of use. When I fired up Windows 7 after installing the hardware, it immediately went to work, found EVERYTHING that needed a new driver, asked for a reboot and everything was working. I didn't even need to break out the driver DVD that came with the board. I did need to go to windows update to grab a few updates that were waiting, but there weren't any drivers waiting.
Third, and BTW... The main address bar doubles as the search bar in IE9.
So the bottom line - you're utterly clueless when it comes to Windows and things Microsoft. Save the Mac commercial for somewhere there are more gullible fish to be found. Seriously...
