On-topic because I'm referring to MandrakeSoft :)

I put in an order for a boxed set of 9.0 yesterday (the 7-CD PowerPack), and
note that the �50 appears to have been charged to my credit card although
the boxed sets are due out third week in October.

This sort of thing - taking the money before the goods are _capable_ of
being dispatched - is frowned on, although not illegal, in the United
Kingdom, and a large proportion of companies say up front that "we will not
debit your card until the goods are dispatched", and don't. What are the
conventions in other counties?

(I also note that the Value Added Tax rate in France is 19.6 per cent. It's
a "mere" 17.5 per cent in the United Kingdom).
