Good point, but a lot of the graphics include copyrighted nVidia stuff, so 
they are at least acceding to that sort of campaign.

ATI does the same thing, probably because they are targetting the same 
demographic.

I just feel insulted when a vendor thinks that such imagery will convince me 
to purchase something.

But, as I said, it must work or they wouldn't continue to do it.
