On the contrary, in this case pdmayton did nothing wrong. As he explains in the thread, he bought the laptop planning to use it as-is -- only after experiencing Windows Vista did he decide it was too big of a pain and decide he had to find an alternative.
And that's a very, very common route to a new user's first introduction to Linux -- it'll continue to be so, too, especially with laptops as no one takes the build-your-own approach.
