Microsoft is acutely aware of the rejection of Vista in corporations.
The bank accounts and the "tattle-ware" give Microsoft an almost
painfully cleare picture how how people are using their Windows
powered PCs.

Most of the Vista advocates are praising it's gaming ability. They
like the 3D graphics and the game software. Of course an X-Box is
usually cheaper, and a
Of course, corporations don't normally use game machines, and there
isn't a lot of business software that uses any sort of high quality 3D
graphics. Many of the business applications that do use 3D graphics
use Linux/Unix or Java APIs.
Animated 3D graphics usually takes quite a bit of specialized efforts
to translate things like statistical information, into useful animated
3D displays.
Microsoft likes to quickly bury their failures. Windows NT 3.x and
Windows ME were also failures, and Microsoft went to some
extraordinary efforts to move people off the legacy product. Windows
NT 3.x machines were easily converted to Windows 95 machines, and
Microsotf tried hard to encourage businesses to use Windows 95 instead
of NT 3.1 OR Windows 3.1
