For the case in question, having the student set up his or her personal computer to work for the class (dual boot/Ubuntu) would probably be fine. Long term, though, I don't think Vista can be written off as a supported platform. If you're forced by your system admin to use it in a work environment AND you need Numpy, ignoring it isn't the answer. I'm not complaining (It would take me longer than Vista's commercial life to shoehorn a solution to this problem myself). I am however following this thread to see how it plays out. This way I can at least start planning ahead in the work environment (I DO have FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and Windows XP installed on my home computers). My 2 cents. Carl T.

Install Ubuntu? ;) I've heard nothing but complaints and nasty words from co-workers stuck with new computers and trying to use Vista as a development platform for scientific work.
