<div>Well, if one were to accept my thesis that the principle design criterion of MS OS's (since about Win98) is market share (as oppsed to, developement environment, for unix; real-time processing, for OS9; fault-tolerance, for Tandem, etc) and if you define adware as willingly downloaded by the user with presumed limited grasp of negative, but legal, ramifications, then Vista is precisely Adware.
