Windows Vista has had something of a troubled birth. Hyped features were pulled, and the project as a whole took far longer to complete than expected, partly due to standing still while MS dropped everything to work on WinXP Service Pack 2, but in part also due to a decision to "reset" and scrap much of the new development. This has led some commentators to dub the project a "train wreck."

I really don't see any reason to list applications, games or drivers specifically for Vista. The list of compatible software (including games) is vast and easily available online at Microsoft's website. As for drivers, I'll direct you to the Vista DVD. It's loaded with them.
I'm sure you can easily list some hardware that doesn't have a driver, but this is also true on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Linux and MacOS. It's not unique to Vista.

No drivers..? Wrong.
No games..? Wrong.
No serious applications..? Wrong.
So, accurate? No.
Instead of just denying my claims, why don't you:
Provide evidence of Vista-compatible drivers?
Provide evidence of games written FOR Vista?
Provide evidence of serious applications written FOR Vista?
