Good marketing or just really stupid?

I just don't see why Microsoft would do this.

To add to Wyrm's response, Microsquish will do just about anything to push sales of Vista. For such a long wait, and it's lauded features, Vista already looks like its falling short. There isn't anything incredibly innovative about Vista, and when you see the transparent windows being pushed as a top feature, you know the product is in trouble. Transparency? Download GhostIt.exe, a 800k program that'll unobtrusively add transparency to any window. Or run a GUI version of Linux circa 2000.

This also kinda bothers me because I work in a store that sells PC games, and I can just foresee the problems

Sorry to hear you are going to be put in that unfortunate situation DeeBye, Microsquish doesn't mind the headaches, as long as their on your head and your dime.

Cheers,
