Is that the Republican GOP Hell you are talking about? Just FYI.

My nephew is a pilot of a commercial airline and does frequent trips to
China.
Today he told me that Windows Vista Home Basic is available in China for $
60.00 whereas in my country the Home Basic is sold for $ 100.00
Can someone advise if this version of Vista will be usable only in China
or also elsewhere and will it be in English too or only in Chinese ?

selling it cheaper there. It would be stupid of them not to. You
know, supply and demand, maximising profit, etc..

In a free market, anyone can charge anyone else any price they want. Why
do you think used car salesmen have such a bad reputation?
Paul Smith said:That's probably about right.
The version will probably be in Chinese which may be a stumbling block.
On top of that I'm sure I've read somewhere that China has it's own
activation servers, perhaps somebody else knows some more details.
