Stateside, Home Basic cost about 200$, but everything
else is about the same price as in Japan.  Then again,
a lot of people stateside still think that Home Basic
is "Just XP on steroids," because that is what it looks
like without the fancy GUI addons.  The versions that
include Aero cost about the same in the US and Japan. ^^;
