the way I understand it, it works in exactly the same way as the transformer in every power supply...
these things are short range (typically a few centemeters max) so the risk of em celular damage should be insigificant. I wonder though, how this will play with the actual electronics in the device itself. Electronics tend to get fried by high power e.m. fields, and if the device has any kind of coil that isn't intended for power coupling you may end up cooking the device?
Same as with Half-life 2. I've seen interviews with members of the valve squad who actually said HL2 was completely redone from scratch, when maybee 60% of the code still has its origins in Quake 1.
My guess for vista is the same, they simply had to 'go back to bascis' because all their new stuff was badly organised. This is not the same as starting from scratch.

And if you believe this, you'll believe anything.
