re: Microsoft Action Pack Subscription Price Changes for Australia

G'day Sarah,

I'm glad my hounding Microsoft for years over this (including a meeting at APC last year with Paul Voges) has finally paid off. This is one thing - not just MAPS, mind you, but all Microsoft pricing in Australia - that has been unfair on the Australian market. Our dollar is strong, our prices are high. Our dollar weakens, the price climbs. The dollar climbs, the price doesn't drop.

As I mentioned last year as the SBSC PAL, this is one thing that a number of Partners had asked me to bring to Microsoft's attention (again).

I'm also glad your last 2 years' work has finally paid off in one area and hope that it continues to the rest of Microsoft's products! :)
