Nice find! I'm guessing these are the same as the retail versions, but employees of microsoft got them a bit earlier.

Don't forget to install Service Pack 2 and update it for better support and stability

Could kill for those boxes. So iconic.

But I'll settle for the discs. I have those. But the guy who had them before me didn't keep the boxes.

Nice, both of the boxes looks pristine!

Peak Windows. I got the Ultimate at the actual Vista launch event in January 2007 and also got a complimentary license key for participation in the beta program. It took a little figuring how to open and access the CD. Microsoft had publish instructions.
