I actually agree with all the guys points.

1. Flash should be installed by default. I mean the one single mouse click
to accept Firefox's suggestion to install it isn't the end of the world,
but it shouldn't be necessary.

2. I also agree that the automated driver install does need a little bit
more work. It should automatically install the nVidia driver and it also
needs to put a shortcut to the nVidia settings tool that allows a user to
configure the desktop without the need to edit any config files. The
nVidia driver install from nVidia's website actually does this, the
restricted driver manager does not. I consider it a bug.

3. DVDs are an issue in the sense that there is a legal problem with them.
libdvdcss that allows for CSS decryption is a bit of a legal minefield.
You can read more about it here:

4. The Migration tool detects XP fine, though I have no idea what it
actually Migrates. I personally don't even care. Due to how new Vista is,
expecting Feisty to support Vista migration is honestly a bit unrealistic.
Even if Feisty was released a few months after Vista, the specs were set
in stone already much earlier prior to Vista's release.

Now the release in Gutsy on the other hand, coming up later this year, I
*would* expect Vista migration to be available.

Now all of that said, none of them are ground-breaking issues in my mind.
Would take me about 10 minutes, if even that long, to resolve them and
live happily ever after.

I wouldn't be surprised to see issue #1 and #2 disappear from the list in
the new upcoming release.

If *that* is the worst that the person who wrote the review can come up
with...that's not much.
