Has anyone seen the most recent marketing ploy by Microsoft?

Showing VISTA to end users that are not computer savvy, showing them the fancy bells and whistles, and then telling them when they say its neat that its really Vista.

They boast about peoples "rating" of Vista when presented to them as "Mojave".

What they do not do, is go back a month later and re-interview these people after they got the OS (which would be REAL information on the subject at hand).

On the official site, I find it ironic, that they did also include one man that WAS computer savvy who asks them "Why is this faster?" indicating he saw no change in speed (all 3rd party lab tests show that Vista is slower than XP, and latest Vista patchs to speed it up, actually slowed it down further).

Why did they include several seconds of the unsuspecting computer noobs responses, but only a very short sentence/excerpt from the one guy that appears to know anything about computers (which made a negative comment).

Does Microsoft tell you that in thier current Vista installs theres an option to downgrade? If they were so confident... whats that about? Microsoft wants us to just take thier word for it and follow them blindly. Seems like they are now trying to use their "monopoly" against us end users instead of thier competitors.

Dont really have anything against Microsoft, but im definately not a Vista fan, and I dont like the way Microsoft preys on the minds of those that have little computer savvy.
