No, it shows that there are a lot of lazy programmers out there. One very simple example: Microsoft have always said "don't write files to the application installation directory", but many people chose to ignore that. In Vista, the application directory is read-only, so you can't write to it, hence the app fails.
The software which I originally wrote for Windows 95, and which follows the rules, works perfectly under Vista. I'm a professional programmer - I follow the rules.
