I've just sent the following letter to Microsoft USA:

Aprreciated Ladies and Gentlemen

I have seen your offer announcing the MSDN Professional Subscription on the official Microsoft pages, found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/subscribers/msdnprofessional/ in which I am highly interessted in.
When I tried to order it, I was however somewhat astonished at the extreme differences in pricing for Switzerland.
You are announcing the offer for a price of $1199 USD, which is (based on the current exchange rate of today, 03/15/05) 1388.83 CHF..while you are charging the amount of 2151.00 CHF, which is (using the same exchange rate) $1855.55 USD - so there's a difference of $656.55 USD!
I think this just ridiculous. This large difference unjustifiable.
I'd like to order the product, as it is announced on the official sites of Microsoft USA (which are officially & directly linked from Microsoft CH) for the regular price of $1199 USD.

Thanks in Advance.

Especially, since it's the Americans who always demand globilazion, I want this product for the same price at it is sold in the US, god damn!
