Cheap at half price, no thanks!

Whats wrong with getting your favourite OS at half the price?

My Microsoft Security Essentials went off when I clicked on the link. It came up with this.

Given those are full versions -- not upgrades -- that's actually not bad pricing. Nothing discounted like that in the U.S. has shown up.

Also interesting the way MS is now saying they're shipping everything including IE8 and those in Europe will be able to purchase separate full and upgrade editions, etc., just like the rest of the world.

That full version pricing might go back up a good deal in the future when they start listing upgrades, etc., as well.

Of course if they list upgrade family packs over there later, too, the pricing isn't competitive, at least for Home Premium.
