Default Boycott Vista in the UK!

According to this BBC page http://www.microsoft.com/uk/press/executives/
users in the Uk are going to be ripped off yet again by being charged
DOUBLE the prices charged in USA. Let's boycott Vista in the UK until this
rip-off culture stops.

PS - if anyone has an email address for the Sales Director of MS UK I
would like to know so that I can ask him to comment on this.

I hear the price of a German car is higher in the US than in Germany.
What's up with that?
I hear those crazy people want us to pay shipping and import expenses too.

I hear we pay $70 in the US for a jacket they can get for $5 in S Korea.
What's up with that?

If you don't like the price they charge in your country, come to our country
and buy it and take it back with you.
If they charge $99 here and 99 pounds there, be sure to file another
complaint if the value of a dollar exceeds the value of the pound.
Make sure you factor in the cost to get the product from here to there, as
well as the additional regulations costs to Microsoft to operate in Europe.
