Vista

Wow. Microsoft is in serious need of a product branding team, as if you did not know this already.

From Vista Sense

Ok, first of all this is not a joke. MS is really releasing Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Limited Numbered Signature Edition.

This is true. Amazon has already sold out of these limited edition versions of Vista signed by the man himself, Bill Gates.

If you were wondering just how many versions there are, the answer is 6 (not including the Limited Edition).

Starter Edition – $99 available in emerging nations

Home Basic Edition – $199

Home Premium Edition – $239

Business Edition – $299

Enterprise Edition – Volume Licensing Available (Note: If you are familiar with traditional VLK licensing from Microsoft you will be surprised how it is implemented in Vista).

Vista Ultimate Edition – $399 (this is the version I am currently using and I love it!)

There are two reasons – to get people with DVR’s to check out the ad (pause, rewind to see if they really saw something) and sub-conscious messages.

Here’s a video demonstrating the concept I found via Megite Video.
