&lt;p&gt;Were all excited about Windows Vista in the UK but not about the price! Amazon US have Home Premium listed for $ 159.00 whereas Amazon UK it is &amp;#163; 149.00 at today exchange rate that makes it $ 287.57 another case of rip off Briton &amp;amp; Microsoft Ripping off its UK customers as with the XBOX 360 price. Why is it Microsoft give preferential treatment to its US customers?&lt;/p&gt;

Is this included the retail package? Is it going to have to be down loaded or what? Or is Vista going to cripple older programs? Also is there any capture hardware and programs availible? I have an ATI all in wonder PCI x video card, ATI has not come up with the capture drivers and software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am running Vista RC2 and I have to switch hard drives to convert old home VCR tapes to DVD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The old greeting card maker, address book and envelope maker I use works great on Vista except for the help files which is winhlp32.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I can't use the programs and hardware which I use a lot why would I upgrade the Vista?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ok here is the question:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Em, do you remember when Windows XP was two months from release? and if you do, do you remember that there was a countdown clock at the main page @ Microsoft.com saying something joyful about Windows XP? Yes you do! so do I :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, then how come Microsoft hasn't spent a few minutes to bring up the same type of java scrip on their main website to countdown the time until Vista releases to wide availability?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, isn't Vista suppose to be the most meaningful piece of Software at Microsoft ever since Windows 95?????&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;:) I really wish they could add that clock at the main site, it would help the hype a lot; I did with XP (at least on me jeje)&lt;/p&gt;
