I've been running Vista x64 Ultimate for almost a month now. The only problem I've encountered in all my applications has been that the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer doesn't work properly. This isn't even that big of a deal since there are open source alternatives. My system hasn't crashed once and hasn't even been unresponsive since I've installed it. The applications he listed as having problems with, I installed flawlessly on my system. After using the new UI for a few days, I think most people will find that it's really a lot more user-friendly.
One point he mentioned is that "power users will feel crippled." He didn't really provide any evidence of this, and I completely disagree. Previous settings that were hidden are easily exposed through the control panel (think start-up manager!) and there's even a search feature to find settings in it!
I think that this guy wanted to hate Vista and convinced himself that it was bad.
If they can really pull this thing off, your computer really won't be yours anymore, other things and places will be controlling it and in a sense your computer will be asserting a power over you. This is sickening!

my question is... why would you EVER want one of these????
