As I mentioned in my first post, Inhuman, it has to do with being able to install different versions of the soft and not run into any compatibility issues. sometimes programs require older versions of files in order to run, if you remember in XP and you uninstall a program and a pop message saying something along the lines that a file existed for this program and if you uninstall it, other program might not work? It may not be the exact words but you might have an idea what I am getting at, but that is what vista is doing and so you won't get that error through vista, I believe.

Check out this link and it might give a better explanation about the winsxs folder
