The 2007 papers predate the Win10 design linked by the grandparent comment. I haven't read the 2007 criticisms recently, but have read the Win10 design many times. I don't think there's anything objectionable in the current design.

Edit: I guess the criticism about the generator running in user mode is still true, although I don't think it's the flaw the authors do. Also, I think the current design adds forward-secrecy / key erasure vs the criticism mentioned in the 2007 paper. I believe the O(2^23) attack described is gone now.
