It's funny that how author simply ignores the massive underlying changes in Vista such as UAC, integrity levels and outcome of all these changes. and believes that Vista was mostly about GUI.


They didn't say that. They said it was mostly GUI with a few detrimental changes under the hood.

While UAC and integrity levels may be a step forward, it's only so because Windows XP is so horrible when you look it from under the GUI.

And, of course, it's quite unremarkable from atop the GUI.


In fact, they didn't even say that - they said that many people perceived it as largely about GUI changes
