Verily I say unto thee, that nessuno spake thusly:

> <Quote> What are the five best things about Vista SP2?

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.

Well, I can list two:

1) I don't have to use it

2) When I need some comic relief, I can use it
