Most of all, what these morons ignore is that most Vista enhacements are completely useless for an embedded platform which is essentially a single-user (and often single-task) machine.
The overhead needed to implement those extra layers of security is mainly a waste of time on a memory- and CPUspeed-constrained machine.
