Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate UPGRADE Limited Numbered Signature Edition
No this isn't a dream that's the actual product name. I'm not exactly sure what I think of this. Microsoft is confirming it's a real product, however the signatures are obviously not hand signed on each copy. Instead they're just printed. The version they're selling is $259, and can only be upgraded from an existing installation of Windows XP. From the image it appears that they are selling 20,000 copies of it, and the number you get will be printed on the box. This seems all to corny, but it's sort of cool that your version number will be printed on the box itself.
I'm not sure about you, but I'll still be torrenting it. Perhaps if I burn the Vista ISO on to a DVD and send it to Bill, he'll sign it for me? But seriously if there is such a thing as a Microsoft fanboy, now is the time to act.'
Amazon says you can pre-order it now, and it will be released on the 30th. It appeared on amazon starting on the 19th of December, so I don't thing this thing is going to be such a good seller.
