I thought I'd see what Adobe UK are charging for upgrading CS3 Web

Much to my surprise, Adobe is charging ?30 MORE for download delivery
versus physical box shipment - seems the wrong way around to me!

Hi,
The bizarre difference in cost between download/shipped is because
of differences in VAT between Ireland (EIRE) and UK - I can't remember
which way round it is, but either the CD or the download is purchased
from Adobe EIRE...
...although the extra cost for "support & translation" in the UK is
probably rumour, myth or a convenient bit of spin to cover the reason:
We are slaves to a higher market price for goods in the UK. Until the
market demand drops, or we can make our own stuff, we have to keep pay
higher costs, unless we have friends in, or regular flights to, the US
- I don't need translation or support thankyou, English is my first
language so it's quite easy to understand American :)

Originally, Microsoft kept developer tools at a lower price to encourage
their adoption.
If they do that with Silverlight maybe it will, eventually, be Flash's
competitor.
It's Adobe's profits that brought us CS4 and CS4 is amazing value for
the money, but it is still seems unfair that prices are different.
I think I am correct in saying that if you buy the licence in the USA,
you also have to buy future upgrades from there too so that the serial
keys match.
It seems strange that we might pay Irish taxes when we don't pay US
taxes. Can this be true?
