Hi Richard Thanks for the reply (and other private messages). I've looked at the US website too, and as you've confirmed to me privately, it appears you can order from outside the US by selecting "No State". There are a number of options for the UK version, but the Upgrade, which is cheapest, is just the program and nothing else. It's the others which include data discs etc, and not surprisingly, they cost more. I still can't decide which way to go, though. Is there anyone who could explain the differences between the US and UK versions, please - and whether any UK-version defaults are nevertheless still available in the US version?
