1) Fast deployment: All three Vista users updated in record time
2) Sound investment: Microsoft wasted even more of their precious,
ever-diminishing cash reserves producing it
3) Giving Value: Now with 20% more FAIL. All free!
4) Perception Management: It makes it look like Microsoft gives a crap
5) Viral Buzz: It gives "analysts" something to talk about other than
Microsoft's ever-diminishing cash reserves

Best things to /whom/?
1) better surveillance -- for Microsoft
2) stronger encryption (DRM) -- for MPAA
3) more bloat -- for Intel sales
4) more editions and SPs -- for illusion of choice
5) more wallpapers -- because that's the only things Vista may be good for. I
happen to have all the Vista wallpapers.
