Petition on Vista pricing in the UK

There is a huge difference in the price that people in the US and the UK are paying for Windows Vista the new Microsoft Operating System. As an example of this, in the UK a full copy of Vista Ultimate would cost you £350, in the US it would cost you £195. The US version of Vista is exactly the same as the UK version. There is no difference. Therefore I can see no reason for there to be such a huge difference in prices between the UK and the US other than Microsoft's belief that the UK customers will pay more than their US counterparts. I ask people to sign this petition in the hope that the Prime Minister will bring pressure to bear on Microsoft over their pricing as it is my belief they are simply overcharging the people of the UK and therefore are ripping us off.

Please only sign if your in the UK. Fake addresses will only make this fail.

That is one of the reasons that so many people Download and Buy cheaper and illegal copies of Vista...

...I get quite often get emails asking me if I want to buy Vista for £20, which is £330 less than what a geniune version costs
