This is a pretty tasteless marketing gimmick by Microsoft Japan to amp up Vista SP1 which is being rolled out around the world. Someone needs to body check the PR Dept at Microsoft Japan for coming out with toilet paper outlining Vista's SP1 features.
The puns from this marketing gimmick is endless with many users shunning Microsoft latest operating system. It looks like Microsoft is cutting it's losses and have set a 2010 release date for it's newest operating system, currently dubbed "Windows 7".
Personally, I downgraded from Vista to XP and I was running it on boot camp! Vista often sent my MacBook screeching to a halt. I'm guessing OS X Leopard enthusiasts are going to be the ones buying the most "Vista Toiletpapers" so they can laugh at Microsoft while "rubbing" it in at the same time.
