Following the discussion on Linux ease of use I promised to try out Ubuntu -supposedly the simplest and easiest Linux distro.
I've downloaded and installed Ubuntu 5.10 64-bit and I've found the following (based on a couple of hours experience -so I could be wrong about most of these points but I think I'm not):

Installation:

I know that we can't count installation complexity if we're talking about average user point of view because installing an OS can't be easy or simple unless you're welling to let the OS do what ever it wants with you're hard disk. But Linux distros especially must have a solid installation system -that is of course because you can't get Linux preinstalled on a new PC and most of Linux users want to maintain their previous OS and data.
Installing Ubuntu wasn't easier than other distros.
⁽¹⁾I don't know why they opted to use a console based installation!
⁽²⁾The installation system includes a MUI but after choosing Arabic at least 30% of the installation process remained in English!
⁽³⁾Installing GRUB on Linux Partition will also make it the active Partition without warning you.
⁽⁴⁾the installer offered to download some packages for Arabic support choosing not to download will not revert the UI language back to default and will result in a funny looking "Arabic" UI and now you have to use this hard to read UI to revert the UI language back to English.

Recently I've been asked to write a script file to stop some services and another one to start them back. I've never used VBScript before but it's fairly simple and straight forward. Of course VBScript doesn't provide any methods to manage services or any other Windows resources; for this kind of management you need to use WMI (Microsoft® Windows® Management Instrumentation) and in this case WMI scripting library.
I tried to keep the script as simple as possible. And I've encapsulated the VBScript code inside a WSF file:
