It becomes too expensive for anyone other than Americans because of
exchange rates.

$15,000USD = about $35,000NZD. That's about half my companies yearly
income. WAY too much for me to ever think about.

Even just look at MSDN for example. In the US, you get it for about
$2700, less the $300 rebate if you order it on DVD. Now, from reading
VBPJ in the past, I think the average developer wage over there was
about $60,000USD - so you have to work for about 2 weeks to pay for
MSDN.

In NZ, MSDN is about $7700NZD (no - we don't get the rebates either) but
the average wage is about the same in dollar terms - $60,000NZD. So we
have to work about 7 weeks to pay for MSDN. Or 6 months to pay for
MapPoint access...

And I bet there are countries where the exchange rates make it far worse
than my examples...

If that was the reason, they have not learnt their lesson

Look at the price tag for the MapPoint .Net web service

$15,000 just to hook it up..then you have the usage costs to add on !!
