What do you think Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003 and Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007 are for? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/ida-identity-lifecycle-management.aspx has details.
Yes its not ideal that some MS apps and roles require the server to be rebooted. The installer for some 3rd party developed apps force a reboot so they dont qualify. But when its an MS app I agree with you that its not ideal.
If you are getting what you need from alternate software vendors, then great. Good for you. But whats with the generalising that you cant do complex solutions using MS technology. Tell MS where they failed and give feedback. Or better yet, why dont you give an example to benefit others where MS failed you?
I have a DP965LT based system with 4GB of RAM. Admittedly I run Xen Express 4 on mine. I found that the Xen install took ages and was slow until I did a BIOS update. It hung at bootup with the message "starting udev" or similar. After the update the bootup times improved dramatically and it really flies now. I haven't tried Vista on it (I have another machine with Vista SP1 with 2GB RAM) but I am sure if you do a BIOS update your Vista experience will be a lot more positive.

I actually think the documentation is very good. For example the WSPP documentation is amazing. http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/intellectualproperty/protocols/wspp/wspp.mspx What more do these people want?
