Aside from the labor costs of putting up window foil, is there any advantage
to it over glass break sensors and window bugs? I am guessing that the
window foil went out as glass breaks gained a solid reputation.

Window foil is dead because:

.5> The labor time involved (you knew that)

1> No one knows how to do it anymore ( Badenov and Jim have one foot
in the grave and the other on a banana peel ;-)))

2> It gets torn often during the day by some bratty kid so:
        a> can not be fixed in a timely manner (see "1")
        b> Causes the 'ready' light to go out
        c> your techs are pissed to go on a service call @ 6:00 PM
because the store can't arm.

3> A glassbreak detector backed up by a motion works better.

You meant to say "Window foil is coming out of my garage and onto my crappy
website. I am the last person in existence to think that window foil is a
viable 21st Century detection device."

If you want guaranteed, 100% assurance of a detection, window foil is hard
to beat. It's just time consuming to install and maintain. Houses I have
with foil are like annuity policies. They clean and I repair!
