Japan's Windows Vista Gets "Pretty in Pink"

Why not, after all? The land of Pokemon and Hello, Kitty! will surely go for a pink boxed copy of WIndows Vista in droves, won't it?

Sure it will.

This version of Windows Vista Home Premium, available only in Japan, is bundled with Windows Live OneCare. I would hope, if they are combining Vista with the much-maligned OneCare, that they would actually reduce the price of the bundle.

Or, since it also comes with a book on Windows Vista tips, perhaps it should be a wash. Microsoft, if you really want people to buy your product, make it work right, and let's not have upgrade fiascoes for the long-awaited first Service Pack.

Here's the Microsoft promotion page, BTW.
