In Oz MS retails XP Pro (Full) for US$370...that's equivalent to the take home pay of many aussies....no wonder many feel MS is gouging the consumer   ----- Original Message ----- From: FORC5 $19.95 and piracy would *almost* vanish. :{) and that is more than Dell pays FWIW I find it un American to pay money for something you purchase but do not own.

How much cheaper do you want it to be?
