Oh, how we love the Top 10 lists. TechWeb's Alexander Wolfe has written a Top 10 list that's actually one Top 6 list and one Bottom 4 list: Top 10 Windows Vista Hits & Misses, i.e. what's awesome in Vista and what ain't so great. Here's your basic spoiler:

Hits:

1. Sidebar and gadgets
2. Pretty Aero interface
3. Media Center integration
4. Windows Media Player 11
5. Non-intrusive DRM
6. Flip 3D task switcher

Misses:

1. Installation problems
2. Lousy performance
3. Bad Search and security behaviors
4. Steep memory requirements for Aero

Wolfe concludes that "Vista is very strong on its consumer presentation skills, but has made less of a business case for corporations to upgrade from Windows XP," and that he would be willing to pay the OEM price of about $85, but not the $199 or $299 that we've been hearing for a retail copy.
