Ill be buying that. I read that here we are just getting the upgrade for that price but the UK is getting the whole thing.

I should be pleased that its not silly pricing.

But then I note that once again we pay more for the same product

I dont think Ill think its ever right to charge the same value in different currency unless the exchange rate is 1:1

Ah well, tis good news on the release date at least. The one thing putting me off using the release candidate was not wanting to have to reinstall again.

Now the only thing is the fact that my job relies on a certain program and it was a pain enough to install on vista!

So you can preorder at half price but ultimate will still be a total rip-off?

Is there anything in the Ultimate edition worth having?

Doubt it.

For vista the differences were you got some of those ultimate addons and that video dreamscape background thing, though I think there was some security/networking thing that was valuable for people that actually knew what it did/was for. For everyone else home premium was fine!
