Its because Vista doesn’t contain in a single CD, even if they intent to make a CD it would be around 5 - 6 CD which come with a bit extra cost.
And Good to read your comments on my blog.

I don’t think it would even enter setup stage on your system. 512 is just mininal, maybe you need to have 1 or 2 GB DDR 2 along with 3 Ghz Dual Core CPU + a DirectX 9 compatible graphics card to run it on high performance mode.
Come to my place, I wanna show off my new Vista Compatible Machine !!
BTW even my Laptop is vista compatible, you might have noticed it in a pic on my flickr gallery
However I don’t won’t use Vista Full time, But its still worth a try

Avi: Vista RC1 is already out, Read this
Yup, your right, it need 512 MB of RAM. Multiple users can install same copy of Vista but they need to register seperately. So you can download one copyand share it with your friends.
But using Pen Drive as RAM is completely bogus.
