If you are unhappy with the inflated prices being charged in the UK by Microsoft for software (compared to the cost in the US) please go to the Prime Ministers petition website and make your opinion count. Follow this link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/VistaOvercharge/

Dissapointed with answers, this is an oppertunity for the UK public to stick together and complain out loud, but most answers are excuses not to sign, avoid the issue, and continue to pay higher prices than US, where there are also multi million dollar law suits

Perhaps if the EU didn't screw Microsoft over with the anti-trust suit, then you all would have similar pricing - however, losing 100's of millions of dollars usually opens the doors to retribution, and this is a legal form of it. I don't believe your petition holds any merit.

a) That'll never work,
b) Vista needs a damn good PC to run on, and forget Home Basic if you want it to look as good as it's supposed to.
c) The first update is already being worked on - barely released, and they already know it's got bugs!
d) All operating systems have always been cheaper buying it with a PC - Vista is no different there. The main difference here is you probably need a new PC, just to run it!
Give it a year. The price will drop, the bugs will get fixed - and the viruses will all be updated.

I have not, but isnt it cheaper to buy a new PC with Vista installed than buying the program alone? Thats wrong, so wrong.
