I've included the photos below. Was the ability to change languages really an Ultimate only feature back then?

Cash only. I know what I've got.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Not going to lie, I would buy outdated software for my ancient Mac if I could find it anywhere.
