Folks, my MSDN Pro level subscription will expire in a few weeks I was
considering upgrading from the Pro to the Premium level so I can get
the Expression and Office suites. I went to Harris Technology where I
bought my last subscription two years ago for about $1500, and that
price has barely changed. I saw on the same web page that the Premium
is $3981. After discussing that price with the misses she determined
that it was financially acceptable for a two year subscription and how
much value we’d get from it.
THEN ... I notice that the $3981 price is for a Premium _renewal_. It
looks like the full price is $9468.
Renewal @ Amazon US$2103.31

I am sure there are cheaper options than Amazon, but long story short,
Australian pricing is a joke, how can a $5k difference be justified!?
Anyway, shop around, and as Stephen said, if microway will price match,
that seems like a good option.
Good luck :)
