International pricing discrepancy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Red Hat boxed sets tend to be priced much higher than
the equivalent pricing in United States.

For instance,

Red Hat Linux: USA - $59.95, Europe - 112 euro
(112x0.90 = $100, or 67% higher)
Red Hat Linux professional: USA - about 120 dollars?
Europe - 230 euro

Americans earn 50% higher than Europeans and don't
have to pay on average 18% sales tax, so if anything,
the pricing structure should be *the reverse*

Since Red Hat Linux is GPL, people do get by just
buying less boxed sets than they might otherwise, but
speaking for myself, I feel a bit robbed knowing some
richer people get their boxes for a lower price...

Thank you for considering this,

Michel Salim
