Get your 20th Anniversary edition of Windows ... in Japan

Microsoft is apparently celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Windows (Windows 1.0 shipped on November 20, 1985), but only in Japan. The company will be releasing a special 20th Anniversary box, which in addition to including Windows XP, will feature a 20th Anniversary desktop theme, replica installation CDs for earlier versions of Windows (though, alas, no floppy replicas for the really old versions), Windows origami, stickers and even a beta copy of Windows Vista. A few random copies will also include packages autographed by Bill Gates, and some customers will be entered into a drawing for a trip to Redmond. The price for all of this limited-edition (only 9,999 copies will be made available) goodness? ¥28,140 yen ($235 USD). Or, of course, whatever the eBay market will bear.
