You need only read the first point to realize the author is a ranting idiot.

Those stupid cocksuckers in Redmond just don't learn.
So many things in Vista piss me off & suck, they "fixed" things that weren't broken (why the FUCK when I open a folder with no media files are there little fucking stars?!?!?!)
Whoops, sorry, my Tourrette's is flaring up.... it always seems to be triggered when I think about Shitsta. See, there it goes again.
The whole "user access control" model, or whatever the hell it is is a trainwreck.
I've disabled all the eye candy crap so my computer doesn't grind to a halt.
The other day I was repairing/restoring/fixing something (I actually think it was the wireless networking) and it wasn't fun. I'm a fairly intelligent guy who works with computers day in & day out, and I was getting frustrated.... I was thinking to myself, "How the fuck does Joe Sixpack, or my mom, deal with shit like this?" I guess call "1-800-NERDTEK" or whatever.... sheesh....

Erm... it's a new OS. They can't just put the same shit in the same place... otherwise it's just XP2.0 ... which some would argue would be a good thing, but good god... XP has been around for 8 years. 8 YEARS!!!... in terms of PC power, we've come MILES in that time. Why should software be any different?
Besides, I remember hearing very similar complaints about XP for YEARS after it's release. Why? Because it's different... none of my Windows 98 stuff works... all my ISA cards are broken... bla bla bla

People have 8 years of training and experience in how to use their computers. 8 YEARS!!! Why in the world should we let their skills continue to be at all useful? Let's completely rearrange the UI and render all that experience completely useless!
There's a big difference between "making use of increased processing power" and "moving all the menus and icons around and renaming everything, but not making it any faster or saner". A large percentage of the changes from XP to Vista were the latter.

same shit? network connections is kind of important, you don't just rename it something completely different and make it impossible to find.
the new diagnose connection thing sucks dick compared to XP's repair function.

And XP's repair function also "sucks dick" ... XP's is just a script that runs a few commands to disable then re-enable the adapter, release and renew the IP etc. At least Vista/Windows 7's is a little more robust... it runs a Ping test and a few other things as well as resetting the adapter etc I believe. Same thing, different look and a little bit more modern.
How else are you supposed to innovate and/or change? I mean, how many things from Windows 3.1 are the same in Windows 95? Or from 98 to XP? Some, sure... but not all. Especially the portions where technology changed drastically from one version to the next. Same goes with Network adapters. When XP first came out, most folks were still on dial-up. Technology changed, so the diagnostic tools etc also had to change.
They do the same thing, just modernized.

modernized? is that what you call it when it takes 5 clicks and 60+ seconds instead of 5 seconds and only 1 click?

When there are dozens of other things to check besides just "Turn off, turn on" then yes...

There is a show desktop button. It's all the way to the right on the taskbar. Windows + D will do the same thing for you, by the way.
I counted three clicks to get there.
That isn't a show desktop button, nor does it function as one in one click. It is nearly impossible to add a show desktop button XP style to the quick launch panel.
Even ubuntu has a show desktop button, actually two.
Hm... What's the difference between the quick launch desktop button and the button on the Win7 taskbar? I always hit the keyboard shortcut instead, so I've barely used it. I tested it before posting, and I didn't notice any difference
