| 787322 | 2009-06-30 07:15:00 | Lucky youre not in Europe, sites are saying they'll be paying twice as much as everyone else. Even tho IE has been removed from their version of Win 7 Yeah that sucks. And they wonder why there is piracy. Where there is rampant piracy, they price it a lot cheaper. Microsoft need to learn not to be greedy with their pricing. They could take a page from Apples book. |

There's no upgrade option for the Europeans. They'll either have to buy the full OS (discounted) or wander over to a neighbouring country. |

| 787327 | 2009-06-30 09:45:00 | Thanks for following up on this. I was sure we were left out and so it appears. Only way around it is to send money to someone in the States and get them to order a pre-ordered copy. Now, who can I ask? Mmmmm. | linw (53) | ||

If it gets picked up by the media, as to why Microsoft is not giving this deal to NZer, then i am sure Microsoft New Zealand would have to front up. Especially as their competitor Google is giving the impression of helping NZ out of this recession, with their free adwords credit to NZ businesses. |

I just tried to order Win7 Home Premium at the discounted price from Amazon and they will not ship it to NZ :groan: I didn't think they would ship it but I thought it was worth a try :annoyed: |
