For the same reason fishermen put spinning lures on their hooks, and rappers/pimps/NBAers put spinning rims on their vehicles: stuff that sparkles and moves will get the attention of dumb people/animals better than something that isn't so flashy. There are some aspects of Vista that are really nice, and some of the 3D stuff looks like it might have some functional use and be more than just digital bling, but I'm in no rush to upgrade. Hell, I've only been running XP for about 16 months.
