Nothing to do with taxes, the only tax the UK gov takes is 17.5% VAT - it's
Microsoft's greed. The same happened with Vista.
I asked MS UK why Vista in the UK was twice the price in UK as the USA (the
DVDs are pressed in Ireland so there's no transporting across the Atlantic)
and they gave me some stupid reply about taking the GDP per capita into
account in what they charge! And me a Management Accountant! (Especially
when the GDP per Capita is GREATER in the US than the UK!)

and maybe you should learn how to fix your clock. I know it's way over your
head so I suggest calling tech support and they can walk you through the
process. Don't be afraid.

It's good to have friends and family in the US so one can get a good
price. With the dollar at its lowest in some time, Windows 7 is almost
as cheap as Ubuntu.

Mine from ZipZoomFly, and why you Britts pay so much (L150 UK Pounds is
almost 300 US Dollars!) is beyond me.
Maybe your government should be easier with taxes!

When you count in wasted time using Ubuntu, Ubuntu costs more. Best to stay
far away from that INFERIOR Ubuntu.

Tell everyone.

Funny thing is: Where would you get $300? Stick with Ubuntu

Well it would be IF there was something called "Upunto".....there isn't.

Err <sigh> what if you lost, Err, your Net Cop badge? Err <sigh> Umm.

Err.

Rather pay $300 for Windows, than $0 for your Upuntoo.
Windows is for Winners, Upuntu is for Koala bears and 3d world

The difference being of course that they almost can't give Ubuntu away
(except to the estranged), whereas Windows 7 can command a price and is in
very high demand (#1 on Amazon.com). And yes, agreed, Windows 7 is
inexpensive.
