SuSE 8.0 and the Euro scam

Can anyone offer a credible explanation for the following: Suse 8.0 Personal - Euro 43.02 in Germany, Euro 53.77 in UK Suse 8.0 Pro - Euro 68.87 in Germany, Euro 81.34 in UK These are the net ex VAT prices from the SuSE UK & German websites. After VAT the situation is even worse. Based on 1 Pound = 1 .62 Euro (it's been within +/-2% of this for many weeks, I track it almost daily) Now I think SuSE 8.0 is probably good value even at the UK price but why should I pay more for an identical (it is, isn't it?) product? In the Euro zone or not, there's no excuse for such a blatant con, or are Linux people (anoraks, nerds etc.) supposed to be totally detached from reality? Charles
