hitechsquad.com — Steve Jobs says "And everyone gets the 'Ultimate' version for just $129". However not quite everyone will get OS X 10.5 for $129. The price in the UK for OS X 10.5 will be ?85 and in the Republic of Ireland it will cost 129 Euros. These higher prices mean Apple gets and extra ?20 from the British and an extra Eur 38 from the Irish. BOOO!!!

As far as I know there isn't a difference between the "American" version and the "UK" version, the languages and local variations are all built into the same version of OS X. So hey, why don't you send me the extra $40 which I have to pay for the UK version and I will "Get over it!"

Actually it's more like 10 pounds as uk price includes VAT the us price does not.
