Microsoft Windows Vista
I know, I know, not everyone who uses bittorrent is downloading warez or movies but the software they're spamming about is a touch ironic.

That's a complicated question when you consider the scheme of things, particularly the disingenuous game MSFT plays with information on this Beta toward the public.
They keep all the chats, and Live Meetings private although some sites and MSFT bloggers post selected chats, and they put out a product manual that is a superficial cheerleading piece of crap with no substantive information on most of Vista. Why shouldn't people access torrents for things like a Beta?
I don't know if you've seen the NY Times article lately (last week) but Torrent technology is going to be mainstream and fully legal as a more efficient way of distributing software, and many startups have money in it to the tune of 26 million bucks in the Silicon Valley area of California. If I find the article, I'll post it.

I know there are may good uses of torrents. The technology is also much abused. I suspect that the people interested in the program the spammer was promoting fit into the abuser category.

And I predicate it will soon be on bittorrent with a ser/keygen so the joke will be on them.

The torrents can be set to optimally download much faster than they upload; complete the download; and then stop the upload. It doesn't kill the seed and they can be tweaked in many ways to be optimal. There are apps to make them behave the way you want.
