I just went through a difficult situation with a customer who has  an 
almost new Lenovo PC with Vista.

After a few weeks he noticed his Skype connection no longer worked. The 
cause was internal breakdown of Vista files. Regrettably, his system 
came without a system CD. He is facing the cost of buying one because of 
the provider's unethical behavior.

Then this morning I saw an article about Ubuntu here:

My question is: How practical would it be to use Ubuntu in his case to 
replace the system and restore Skype etc?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
