You don't need to have an updated Vista in order for your PC to operate. There are a very few programs that might have issues, but for 99.9% of them, it's fine.
Restore points fail; oh well. Many computers have a (sometimes hidden) restore partition, or boot media. Programs might be lost, but data is saved. Any halfway decent tech or shopshoudl be able to take care of this problem for $200 or less.
I've been an IT pro since 1994.

"It might be bad enough for some people that they'll even need to go out to purchase a new system and just scrap the old one."
Hardware is undamaged. Any competent tech can fix this.
"Which means if a Vista person needs to do a clean restore from point zero - that their computer still may not operate properly without the paid subscription."
Their computer will operate just fine, no paid subscription is necessary for the PC to be operational.
For anyone who wants to check their PC's for this, go to DNS Changer Check-Up - Clean |
