Story: UK will pay £1,000 more for Adobe CS3
Ripping us off
When I find that I am being 'overcharged' for products, primarily software, I tend not to buy them and usually seek alternatives.
I would, for instance, have purchased Vista by now if it had been priced at the equivalent US price, but I'm probably one of many not rushing to buy.
Although this 'overpricing' and extreme licence conditions and restrictions don't justify software piracy, they do go a long way towards assuaging conscience when running improperly licensed software. Meantime, we form an increasingly resentful view of the (mainly US) companies ripping us off.
