Michael, et al. I whole-heartedly agree. I don't mind paying 'reasonable' costs to get products into the country. However I find it insulting that Micro$oft Australia will not be offering the reduced upgrade pricing, $A not withstanding.
Their local web site is pitiful (when it comes to Mac stuff) and their call takers are worse, oh and don't forget it also takes six months or more for them to finally get products into the country. You really know you live on the largest 'island' on earth when you have to deal with M$. I, too, wish I could order directly from the US. Hell, it's times like this that I wish I lived in the US ;-) Greg.
