    OK, so I get the headline for the US edition, but why is it the same in the UK/AU/CAD editions? Whose GDP, Tom’s hardware?

      Would you like to change your default thought process to United States?

      I would point out that Microsoft raised process globally.

      Somehow I think that everyone will be screwed because that’s what corporations do.

        Well, yeah. Half as much in Europe as in the US, it should be noted. But yeah, it does seem many corpos will either spread the US hit globally to mitigate the sticker shock in the US at the cost of giving some to everyone else (or just as a convenient excuse to squeeze more money out of people). It sucks.

        But you would still have to report that you refer to global GDP or to global prices if that’s what you meant. Those numbers are going to be different either way. And that’s not what they are referring to anyway.
