they're not trying to do that i dont think. they just want to piggy back
on the marketing that ms have put into this new 'wonder' word, vista.
what the heck does that mean? i've no idea, but it's like consignia, you
remember that? a word that means nothing...

by any other company using the 'vista' word they in part sell what ms
has sold a dozen times over.

they could put another paragraph in there however, saying 'embraces the
power of unix'... wouldn't hurt would it...
