Is Microsoft still encouraging ECC memory for Vista?

Is Microsoft still encouraging PC manufacturers to use ECC memory for pre-built systems running Windows Vista? Their Windows Vista Enterprise Hardware Planning Guidance makes no mention of it nor does anywhere else I've looked on their website.

I think they have stopped pushing for ECC.

Why the hell would they want us to get ECC?

Darn, I was hoping that would help bring down the price of ECC memory.

Keep in mind I have no confirmation of my earlier comment. They might still be pushing for it, but I haven't been hearing anything about it recently.
