It may be in effect punishing people in that area for daring to stand up to its bullying tactics. If this is the case, then Microsoft is cutting its own throat. Rather than petitioning Microsoft to bring down its prices, it would be better to petition the UK government to mandate that all government used software be compatible with Linux and other operating systems. Another thing to petition UK government for is to stop Microsoft from penalizing vendors who publish and support Linux drivers. The best way to defeat price gouging is by having a free market that allows competition.
