What is the difference between the "signature" editions and the "standard"
editions of Vista?

Re: Signature Editions

The signature maybe? It is signed by Bill Gates or at least it has his
signature on the boxes.

Re: Signature Editions

Signature on the box. It's like the special edition games with a neat-o box!

This is a signature edition of the Ultimate Upgrade version of Vista
personally signed (supposedly) by Bill Gates himself and is a limited,
signed / numbered edition of what was supposed to be 20,000 copies
originally, but apparently the limited run of this edition has been extended
to 25,000 copies. I've read that there are two signatures, one on the front
DVD cover and the other ??. Like all versions of Ultimate except OEM, it
comes with both the 32 and 64 bit DVD's.

I don't own it, just did some research on it and that is what I found.

And last time I checked most retailers who carried it were sold out.

But it's all over eBay.

Bidding starts at $.99 USD. :0)

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
