Vista as a phenomenon of attractism

The other day, after the next “decline” of my Khryusha and the refusal of the melkosoft to stuff a freshly installed (left, of course) copy of my product with patches, the question arose of purchasing a licensed version. After thinking a bit, I decided that sometime I would still have to buy a “whist”, so my daughters throw out 2 times reluctance, and decided to buy it. Moreover, for a simple home user, its security tools are quite suitable, and I didn’t have databases worth half a million bucks, and I don’t take a job at home. But that's not the point.

Bought the Business version. Installed. And the next hour and a half spent at the computer, stupidly opening / closing the windows and clicking on different buttons. Damn beautiful.
I pressed the "about 3D windows" button, clicked the control-tab. Fucking beautiful.
Crawled into different settings, pontazhimal there. Vasche super.

I am sitting on whist for the fifth day, and still I do not deny myself the pleasure from time to time to open different windows and settings. I am not an “ordinary user”, I work as a programmer, so I usually don’t allow myself to take various false emotions about the OS. And yet the question arises: did the whole nation, once having worked on it, also get rid of the local beauties like this and run to activate the version? Or is it the one I got so penetrated?
I'm not talking about the “most powerful” security tools of this OS, I'm not talking about usability (here you can argue, something is convenient, something is not), namely, the attractiveness of the interface, how everything overflows and jumps smoothly and revealed.
I have no doubt that all these beauty and their influence on the weak brains of casuals were provided by marketers, but how strong is this influence? And the devil knows them ... Judging by me, so very.
