The only possible reason I can see for users/corporations upgrading to Vista is if vendors start releasing packages that are dependant apon features that XP does not include. For instance, if/when hardware manufacturers and game publishers only release DX10-compatible versions, or if Installshield upgrades their packages to require you to suffer the annoyance of UAC before confirming that you are certain you know that you want to install whatever software... companies still use them instead of MSI's right?
The thing that I found most impressive about this game was the speed and quality with which it runs on my system. Most recent games chug and are quite choppy at higher graphics settings, but this performed as well as any game I've ever played. Also you don't find yourself waiting for the game or levels to load, which I found very suprising considering the level of detail in the maps, textures and characters. This in itself makes me like the game a lot.
Sure it's a questionable practise, but it's no different to what any number of corporations would do in a similar circumstance. If they don't ask how he got the information, they don't know, their hands don't need to be cleaned.

Enough news about Vista.

You find this suprising?
