Windows 7

I notice that MS pricing for Windows 7 is set at US$1 = £1. Eg: Student version for US = $29 ~ UK = £30.

That's true for everything actually
its part of rip-off britain policy

That's quite normal. The dollar cost has usually been the pound cost for most MS software. It varied a bit when the pound was so strong, but it has never represented the exchange rate.

Also I think the dollar cost is plus sales tax, whereas UK cost is inclusive of VAT - although VAT is still much higher than most US sales taxes.

And what happened to "there will be no OEM version of Windows 7"? I kept being told this and read about it. Today I bought Win7 64bit OEM for £40 cheaper than the retail version, one day after release.

If you look at Amazon the retail version is only about £20 more than Scan's prices for ultimate, and about the same for Home. Pro seems a bit more of a difference.

W7 Student licence version seems like an excellent deal.
