Microsoft’s marketing division must hate when things like this hits the news services:
“…The least-expensive versions of Vista actually would work in virtualization programs. But Microsoft wants to restrict it because of new security holes spawned by the technology, according to Scott Woodgate, a director in Microsoft’s Vista team.”

Ideally for a marketing division, a product should be advertised as ‘universally better’. When the product is not suggested for certain segments of the population, it just creates uncertainty. The perception of the product takes a beating. The hope for the Microsoft marketing people is that the public’s attention span for news items such as this is two or three news cycles and then it is forgotten. Unfortunately, geeks and sites like this keep such news items ‘alive’ much longer.
