Prudent Use = plain vanilla, do as you are told, only use MS products and never exercise anything like imagination or creativity?

You only have to visit Microsoft forums and newsgroups to see the thousands of disaffected and frustrated clients of Vista, many of whom are professional IT people and still can't make it do what it was meant to do. There are certain things, like mixed networking and driving a whole lot of very common brand peripherals, that Vista is even worse at than previous incarnations of the MS OS.
