1.  He wouldn't even disclose the exact models of video card.  It's not that important I guess, but it seems he artificially stepped around it.

2.  Predicts that the majority of consumer systems will support 4 monitors in the lifetime of Vista.  Sorry, but the average consumer has no idea that any computer can do dual screens, let alone 4.  And most come with graphics systems built into the motherboard.  And multiple monitors serves no purpose for the vast majority of games.  Plainly not going to happen soon, if ever.

3.  No discussion of what could be better about Vista and multiple monitors.  For instance, why is the taskbar still limited to only one monitor?  Microsoft needs to either add the features that UltraMon has or else buy them out and integrate it.

4.  No discussion of how a programmer could benefit.  It's Microsoft, we know you have a lot of programmers...tell us how they use it.

5.  What actual new features does Vista give us over XP with regards to multiple monitors?  Everything I just saw looked the same as it is in Vista.

Please go for more depth in these stories.  Interview multiple people with different setups.  I honestly feel that I would have learned the same thing by seeing just a picture of his setup as I did watching the entire video.
