You've forgotten the crown jewel: the video for Vista SP1, "Rockin' Our Sales."[1]
I realize it was meant for internal use only, but good lord, somebody put a lot of work into this thing. It makes me so uncomfortable to watch, and to imagine the culture that might well have embraced this.

I've seen it happen and... it doesn't even need to be a culture, just a high-up exec who had a "genius idea", and showed it to his cat who purred, so he decided to run with it.
Now the culture around tends not to be fantastic, but you only need one person with a debatable sense of everything and high-enough up the chain that he can push stuff without any oversight (let alone undersight from those working under him)
This is the first time I've ever watched that video and it's clearly not meant to be taken seriously. They crack jokes about how "business people" hold off until SP1. From the expressions on the actors' faces to the lyrics in the song, this was supposed to make you chuckle. It was corny and IMO well written. I'd be worried about the culture that can't figure out where the humor lies in this.
