Microsoft Raises UK Prices By a Third and Can't Rule Out Future Hikes

New submitter DerekduPreez writes "Microsoft has revealed that it will increase volume licencing prices in the UK by an average of 29 percent to adjust for the 'sustained currency differences between European countries'. UK businesses have until 1st July to place their orders under the current prices before the changes take effect. Microsoft claims that because of sustained differences between the British Pound and the Euro, price spikes are necessary to maintain consistency across the region. Microsoft also confirmed that it could not rule out future increases, as it will continue to monitor currency movements and may make further adjustments if there are large fluctuations."

The Euro is fine.
It is Europe that is dying.

I never called Europe or the US socialist.
I stated that Socialism fails.
Europe has tons of socialism. The US has too much of it as well.
All the socialism in these parts of the world are hurting them.
