I sold it for a good profit -- its a collectors item apparently.
You never know this might be of more value in years to come than its now.
I'll try to get mine signed by Bill himself...
Now all I have to do is find his checkbook.
No it wasnt :/
Woah, really?
lol @ all those who are going crazy for it
That is one of the saddest, nerdiest, geekiest bloody things ive ever heard of.
Besides the signature probably comes with DRM and needs activating to prove its genuine, failure to do so results in the box self destructing after 30 days and Steve Ballmer using the l33t MS swat team to assault your house armed with WGA uberguns.
Thats if they dont crash on the way there.

Empty Zune boxes? Full up more like.
That's right folks i'm here all next week with more comedy gold nuggets.

Nah they are empty, we wouldnt want to damage something that valuable.
Like the Torino
Which means they are charging $10 more for a "collectors edition"
Now *that's* funny! I don't think Steve's copy machine has even cooled down yet.
I honestly think they should come out with a Neowin Edition of Vista, this community started when XP was being released and has grown to a large enough population to be it's own country, so why not have a Special Neowin Edition of Vista Ultimate !
Not a mouthful at all.
Cool idea though, if it wasn't so damned expensive i might consider getting Ultimate.
