I've given up on trying to figure out Adobe pricing. The last time I queried the ridiculous difference between US and UK prices the quotes I had were:
- "It costs more to keep UK support staff": Well, I'm sorry about that, but I never use your UK support staff - besides, I give other people support on mailing lists. Can I have a discount? - "It costs more to ship the boxes across": Really? For a download? and then finally - "We charge what the market will bear": Which sounds like the real answer, but does not make me happy. Still, sending a developer over to the US to buy copies in a shop there - because the cost of the flight is much cheaper than the software - would make the developer happy. Anyway, with regards to download vs. shipping, the reason given for the odd pricing is because the download server is in Ireland, which has a higher VAT rate than the UK.
