However, the box and its direct contents aren’t even the rarest aspect of the release! Originally priced at around $230 USD at the time and limited to just 9,999 units, by today’s global population count, that means there’s only one per every ~790,000 people! Suffice it to say, this is an extremely rare Microsoft release that has undoubtedly flown beneath many a current reader’s radar. Unveiled in November 2005 in Tokyo by Steve Ballmer and subsequently released on December 9, 2005, this is the “Windows 20th Anniversary” release of Windows XP Professional! The name of the release could certainly be more confusing, but only just. For decades now, Microsoft has been exclusively releasing products unique to Japan - many of which I’ve personally tracked down, added to the ol’ collection, and plan to extensively detail right here on Thurrott!įor my inaugural post, and in light of the 20th anniversary of Windows XP, I’ve chosen a very special Japan-only release to cover.
