HeHe, It was the overseas Shipping and Handling fees.

639.15 Usd

Ouch!!

Looking at the current exchange rates it still cost us both the same because your English pound is equal to 2 US Dollars. So we both end up spending the same amount of money.

squirrels don't fly without my permission...

Huh...How do you work that one out, you pay $339, I pay $639(£316) how is that the same?

Ok we both pay 300ish but my pound costs twice the price of your dollar, with thinking like that I can see a bright future for you in the Microsoft pricing department lol

LOL. Let's put it like this. I make say $15 dollars and hour and you make 15 pounds an hour how is that different? Like when I went to England and bought a pint I had to pay 10 dollars when you only have to pay 5 pounds for your beer. Just because the pound is valued different doesn't mean you should get a break everytime you buy something from the US. It worse for Americans when we go to England or try to buy something from the UK.

No wonder we don't see eye to eye that's why we had to kick you off our continent twice.

God save the queen!!!

Hi AllTheWay,

I think you missed what John was saying. Yes, the Pound is worth about two US Dollars, but the $639 is already converted to US Dollars, while we only pay around $339.

Shawn...I understand what he is saying because the English pound is equal to 2 US dollars I said that in my earlier post. I know how the exchange rate works I've traveled all around the world using Korins, Euro's, and I can't remember what the Czech republic uses but I completely understand the exchange process.

£15 I wouldn't get out of bed for that lol

The way I see it is Microsoft are taking it out on me because the dollar is worth less than a half eaten doughnut!!

Would you be happy to see Vista Ultimate for sale in India for 339 Rupees ($8.40) I think you would be pissed off that they were getting a better deal just because their currency is crap.

And as for the continent, we let you have it it was crap FFS one side is forever shaking and could fall off at any time, the other is always battered by storms and flooded and the middle bit gets leveled by tornado's for half a year, your welcome to it lol
