Minecraft Forums

So my friend asked me to help him out with this. He doesn't have an account on the forums, but he called me on skype and told me Minecraft crashes on launch. He shared screens, and I had him launch it to show me, the game doesn't even launch, just a crash report appears in the launcher. I made him delete the .minecraft and reinstall, but the same thing happened. Here is the crash report:
