What Are They Thinking?!

I was at walmart today... I needed to get a couple cans of air some spray paint and I perused through the computer games and stuff...

Windows vista's cd code key is outside, on top of the case! wtf? Are they retarded? ...or just that desperate to get people to conform and move to vista? attract more people to pick it up?

edit: I think I'm mistaking it with the sticker that goes in the case... but it does have that floating ribbon?

Ohhh, so basically, the code key isnt released until it is scanned? Thanks for clearing that up for me haha
