Windows 7 half the price in UK

For once, the U.K., which frequently gets the shaft in technology cost comparisons vs. the U.S., is going to do better than the U.S. Quite a bit better, at least for now, with C|Net discovering that they're getting a 50% price advantage on Windows 7.

Checking Amazon.com in the U.K., full versions of Windows 7 Home Premium will cost the equivalent of £65 ($107), while Americans will have to pay $200. That's a full version; even an upgrade version will cost more in the U.S., at $120 (£72).

Looking at Windows 7 Professional, the same discount percentage isn't offered, but there is a lower price in the U.K. A full version will cost $299 (£181) in the U.S., while it runs £129 in the U.K.

Why's this happening? It's unclear, C|Net's theory is that Microsoft is honoring its pricing for Windows 7E, which was cheaper because an upgrade wasn't possible. Of course, 7E has since been scrapped.
