Dont know why anybody would have any driver problems except if they're using hardware from the 80's or something. Sure there WERE driver problems when it was released.. i had to wait a couple weeks for proper nvidia drivers, but theres absolutely no troubles now.
DRM is bullshit, it wont affect you. you can do exactly the same stuff you do on XP.
Dont know what you define as bloatware.. but it doesnt feel very bloated to me. You cant blame the OS for being large, it has to support millions if not billions of hardware combinations. OSX only has to support their own limited amount of hardware, and linux.. well it doesnt support hardware very well at all (ati drivers anyone?)
vista is not just a pretty version of xp.. most of the components have been redesigned from the ground up. I wish people would read about the changes that have been made before claiming its nothing but xp with eye candy.
