Business hat on... Direct pricing gets set on a per market basis according to the target price that we feel is about right for the market. Of course, distributors and resellers set their own pricing. The result of that is sometimes its cheaper to buy in one market over the other. There were several months in which it was cheaper to buy Vue 4 in Japan. Most vendors (ourselves included) set a USSRP (United States Standard Retail Price), then allow their subsidaries to release according to their own markets. As long as there isnt a greater than 20% difference then there usually isnt a very big impact. This is to allow for fluctuations in currency. Regarding downloads -- Vue Pro is just too big. Also, we dont want to expose our flagship products any more than necessary to the download market because of the piracy factor. Best regards, Lynn Fredricks e-on software
