Someone said buy it from the US because it's cheaper there.
About half the price.
Surely it's even simpler than that?
The thing that one is buying is the licence key.
Not the physical CD.
You can borrow that from anyone.
Or download the iso.
Buying a licence key from abroad should be easy!
What is the charge for postage and packing?
The charge for sending an email?

Yep that would work and additional keys are cheaper than retail boxes.

Where do you suggest downloading from (legally/unmodified etc) as MS don't
offer it? And who sells keys without the media?

MS Resellers sell keys try Amazon.com for example, the cost difference is
only the cost of the CD or in the case of Vista a DVD.

I'm planning on getting a friend in the US to buy it for me when it's
released and email me the key.

Amazon will not ship US Software to other countries. I tried it without any
