In america , sales tax and VAT is usually not quoted , so 149 dollars with 7% sales tax ( not all states I know , but most ) and then 21% Irish VAT = 192 dollars , or 131 euro.

So if Pacifico is right and it can be had for 109 euro , then its cheaper here.

Pacifico is correct, I paid €109.99 for it in pcworld and Outlook 2007 is available there for €149.99. I often buy online but that was either less expensive or the same price as some online sites I checked.
