In a completely unanticipated announcement made quietly during a virtualization talk here at WinHEC 2008, Microsoft announced a completely new SKU of Windows Vista, to be entitled Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop. Its purpose will be to enable Vista to run within an enterprise exclusively as virtual machines, managed centrally using System Center Virtual Machine Manager.

..be used to boost the supposed numbers of copies sold?
Before anyone flames me or mods me down, please bear in mind this wouldn't be the first time creative book-keeping was used to inflate the numbers of a product being sold in attempt to stir up interest. And both Bill and Balmer have gone on record claiming millions of copies sold despite heavy evidence to the contrary, so a bit of judicious number tweaking wouldn't be much of a stretch given their past record...
