VISTA is exactly the kind of thing Seinfeld would have used as fodder for his routine, the same way he would use low-flow shower heads and extreme gas-sipping cars that can't accelerate or carry the weight of two people.

As if Vista can compete with them! Their best bet is to drag the "competitors" down to Vista's level in the public mindshare.
