You say that because you live in the US and not in Europe. There is a big difference for no reason at all.


You're right, I'm answering from my own experience. Regarding the EU: are there reasons for higher prices? One cause might be higher European taxes. Another might be Microsoft trying to avoid running afoul of EU restrictions regarding "undercutting" what is the accepted market price for software.

Is all software more expensive in the EU, or just Microsoft's?
