UK Windows 7 price to be 50% of US price

Now here's something you don't see every day. A piece of technology that's going to be cheaper for UK customers than those in the US. Typically UK shoppers end up paying more for computers, gaming consoles and software than their US counterparts.

But CNET has discovered that Microsoft is charging just £65 for a full version of Windows 7 Home Premium. That's about $107 US, while Americans will have to pay about $200 to get a full version. Heck, even the upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium will run $120 in the US.

The Microsoft UK store lists the price a bit higher at £79.99 or about $131 US, but you can find the operating system for £65 at Amazon.
