Vista Business Ultimate, last time I looked, was $250 on Amazon.com. It is $400+ on Amazon.co.uk. A mighty rip off and one that I will not sucker into.

Does anybody know a reputable US online merchant that I could try and buy it from and ship to the UK?

Amazon.com allowed worldwide shipping briefly, but has now imposed restrictions.

Big corporations throw all their toys out of the pram when it comes to piracy but have absolutely no morals themselves. Infidels.

Thanks in advance.

MS isn't the only one doing that and IIRC, there's a lawsuit against some company for the practice. Of course, they just say it's regional markets that drive the price variances but I don't buy it.

I don't know any vendors offhand, but you might be able to find a "secondary importer". For example, shipping here to Hawaii is outrageous, as you can expect. However there is a company sells memberships so you can use a California address for your shipping address. Then you just pay a flat rate (say $6) to have your items shipped to you. I'd imagine the UK would have something similar.
