I’ve included the photos below. Was the ability to change languages really an Ultimate only feature back then?
Multiple languages for the OS was an Ultimate-only feature in 7; otherwise you were stuck with only the language(s) that came with your edition.
This part sucked real bad.
Back in those days, if you wanted to play some games imported from Japan, they would check that you had your region and language settings set to Japanese as a sort of soft-region locking.
I had to spend an extra $50 for ultimate to make it so that I could play my shitty anime games in the late 2000s.
I remember using software that let you play those with a Japanese locale
It does go for $50 consistently. People collect in box copies of windows.
Maybe that’s what people try selling it for, not necessarily what people purchase it for?
Those are all sold in the past month. You can filter eBay results by sold.
Oh wow
Sorry, I missed the “sold” text on those. Would you happen to know why people collect them?
I guess For the same reason people collect stamps or Pringles can. Just because they think it’s neat.
Cash only. I know what I’ve got.
“price is firm”
$50$20That’s truly all that’s missing from this masterpiece.
No, they are that crazy
Saying “I know what I’ve got” usually means they did a quick search on eBay and copy/pasted the highest price but ignored the fact that item has been listed and not sold for 10 years because it’s overpriced.
I always want to send them something like “What a big boy that you know what you got! And when you make the sale you can add the money to your piggy bank!”
I have an old rip CD of this lying around which was taken from a collection of like an entire CD stack worth of Windows XP, Vista, and 7 cracked installation disks. Feel like this is still worthless even with the shiny box.
Turns out that people are actually buying them
https://massgrave.dev/windows_7_links send this with a counter-offer for -$20
They know what they’ve got. Cash pony.
Will the site let you do that?
It is possible to message people on Karrot, but I don’t want to risk a ban by sending links
Truth is immaterial, the only question is will that article make someone go hunt down copies of windows 7 and maybe spend $20 on it.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Linux the Free [OS]?
Which distro or DE would fit the win7 aestethic best?
People say Mint, but I haven’t used it.
KDE on pretty much any distro can be Windows-like but better imo
I use Mint and it definetly feels windows like, but its also way more modern than 7 :)
Snatch it for me and I’ll give you $30usd for it.
My windows 10 support is about to end.

Quick, hide over here.
Are you safely under cover?
We’re hiding from the thousands of soon to be incoming Linux upgrade recommendations.
But joking aside
Is this the twist foretold by your username? 🤔
Wonder what I could get for XP Pro in the box.
Not going to lie, I would buy outdated software for my ancient Mac if I could find it anywhere.
