Windows Vista by Future! Cost $150 American Dollards, If you got their Windows XP at a book store you got a WONDERFUL DVD with it but on their Windows Vista for a $150 they went the CHEAP way no DVD! Ordered it and found out and told them THANKS BUT NO THANKS bot worth a $150 without DVD! HOW CHEAP CAN THEY GET!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? Do you mean the Windows Vista magazine US? And I presume you mean its $1.50, not $150? If it /is/ priced for $150, then I'm inclined to agree with you - that is on the expensive side for a magazine.

Some of the issues will have a DVD on, like issue two, for example. And as a US reader, I'd suggest having a look at the American magazine. If you subscribe, you can get six issues for $18.

I did go for American Vista after UK Future told me no DVD's with their Vista! I told them credit me back as I do not waste money like Bush does!

This is not unique. ALL UK magazines have this price discrepancy. The $150 rate is teh overseas rate for the magazine, ALL UK magazines have a proportionate rate. The book stores presumably buy in bulk there, then ship a to low cost before distributing here. This is why they are at least 1 to 2 months behind the UK distribution. If you want to save money do not subscribe from the UK, subscribe from the US. Go to Amazon.com and you can subscribe for $18 us for 12 issues.
