Tis Strange.
US Cannot Import Cheaper Medicines from Europe and Europeans Cannot Import Cheaper Software from US. :( :(

Should have said US Cannot Import Cheaper Medicines From Anywhere to be really be comparative. :(

LH, prescription medicine is a lot cheaper in e.g. France than in the US - I have seen differences up to 50 times - not 50% (e.g. for antibiotics). Even "the pill" is 10 times more expensive. Only non-prescription items (e.g. Aspirin) are cheaper in the US.
But as far as W7 goes, that is easy. Just buy it in the US.

@LH,
