Hooray for balanced reporting.
The good stuff was pretty much what I expected: Aero, networking,
security, etc. The bad stuff, on the other hand, surprised me:

Backup
Remember the backup program in Windows XP? A pretty sorry piece of work,
wasn't it? Well, the backup program built into Windows Vista will make you
absolutely pine for it. It's one of the worst utilities you'll ever
use--although it's such a poor piece of work, it's likely you won't bother
to use it.

Fewer Power User Features
Microsoft has tried mightily to make Windows Vista easy to master for the
average user, but they've also made changes along the way that power users
won't be happy about. For example, in Windows XP, you were able to customize
to a remarkable degree what actions should be taken when you open or view a
file; you can't do that any longer unless you dig extremely deep into the
Registry. Similarly, you used to have a great deal more control over
multiboot options than you do now.
