It's the Steve Ballmer "signature edition." Under the hood it's Windows 7 Ultimate, but on the outside it's got a snazzy look plus the autograph of Microsoft's chief executive. It's not unlike what Microsoft did with Vista, though in that case it was <A href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9679548-1.html" title="Your very own Vista signed by Bill G. -- Sunday, Jan 21, 2007">Bill Gates adding his John Hancock to the packaging</A>.

Microsoft won't say where else, if anywhere, it plans to offer the Ballmer-autographed version. The Gates version of Vista was sold on Amazon, although I later <A href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-9871347-56.html" title="Scrounging for bargains at CompUSA -- Wednesday, Feb 13, 2008">spotted one at CompUSA</A> when it was  going out of business.

Windows 7, at least in all its other versions, goes on sale October 22. Stay tuned on whether you will be able to get the Ballmer version.
