I know that some people are extremely excited about the imminent release of Windows Vista, Microsoft’s latest OS offering. But does Microsoft really need to spurn that excitement? Despite the fact that Vista is hardly more than an XP facelift, it hasn’t stopped the mega-corp from unveiling the “Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Limited Numbered Signature Edition.” Yes, you too could own the tongue-twising piece of disastrous history by purchasing one of 20, 000 copies of Vista Ultimate, complete with a unique serial number, and an embossed signature from none other than Bill Gates.

You can purchase the upgrade edition here. Pricewise, its actually not too far off normal copies, which is a little relief. But it begs the question - why?
