Although if it is a virtualized 32bit version it'd be interesting to see if there is any difference between 3.5GB and 4GB ;) My take is that it is a user problem, and the best solution is probably to make the transition as painless as possible, rather that avoid the transition all together. Time to stick KDE4 XP theme on a box to show him what it looks like. Fortran at the command line shouldn't be a problem..... But which Fortran compiler does he use?
