What's missing from this picture? (Re: The "plop" starts now.)

I got some fliers in the mail today; as I was looking at the Staples
one, I realized something. The specs for the Toshiba laptop featured
on the cover mention pretty much everything *EXCEPT* for what OS it
runs. On page four, except for the prominently featured MacBook, NONE
of the laptops mention what OS they run. On the very bottom of the
page is a cheapo Compaq desktop system with 512 MB RAM running Vista
Home Basic and on page six there's a 4 GB thumb drive that mentions
Vista's "ReadyBoost" but unless I missed something, those are the only
mentions of Vista in the entire flier. I note however on the top of
page seven is a prominent pic that shows they're still selling retail
copies of XP Home (with free bonus thumb drives).

Not good for Vista, ne?

P.S. Some humour ;)
