It's not just when buying Windows Vista that Europeans get ripped off compared to our American cousins. It seems that all tech paraphrenalia is cheaper in the US. On holidays in the US stores (WalMart), I was delighted to pick up a 512MB SD memory card for my camera for €10. Even in Dublin's Duty Free -- which I passed through on Thursday -- it's triple that price.

I think prices change from country to country but this much difference is not affordable and i think people have become smarter to buy things where they find cheaper price.
