Windows 7 Ultimate Signature Edition w/ Party Pack

Friday, October 9, 2009

Gosh, it didn’t take long for eBay to come alive with offers to sell the Not For Resale (NFR) versions of Windows 7! I suspect most of these “Signature Edition” versions are coming out of the Party Pack that just arrived today. The asking prices seem to range from $80 to $315 (CDN).

Are these so rare as to have a premium value for collectors? Will Microsoft go after these vendors?

BTW, I wouldn’t sell mine – apart from the fact that doing so would be unethical, illegal, and downright stupid for a Microsoft MVP! <grin> I’m showing it off at my launch party (actually an afternoon tea party) on October 22nd.

Yes , I know I even called Microsoft to report it and the said you can not sell those copies!! People just do not think before they act.

@Joseph: It's odd that MS hasn't taken action. Recall that Microsoft was pretty quick to sic the lawyers on Canadian highschool student Mike Rowe for daring to use his name in a domain name called MikeRoweSoft.com.
