The missing points! (Score 0)

The DRM infection which crippled video play back. And blocked 100% legal content playback.

Not just GPU drivers but sound drivers for things like soundblaster devices.

Broken power savings settings that ate laptop batteries.

A side panel that want a whole core for a news ticker and a clock.

To mention again. UAC which completely blocked MS ability to deploy Vista at the corp level from desktop to server room. ( Yes I know there are ways around this. But not without a ton of work by the admins. )

Lies about "Vista Able/Ready" branding on new PC's.

64bit non-working drivers for most devices. Still to this day some very common devices have little to no x64 support.
