I know. It effectively means you pay $211 for Windows

Which is is such a high dollar count that this simply cannot be USD, a theory further corroborated by the time being 24-hour format, which is uncommon in the US.

I was simply curious to what type of dollar it is in the image. Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, something else?

    So I haven't used Windows on my own machines in about 20 years, but back when I built my own PCs that seemed about right. So I looked up the price history, didn't realize that Microsoft reduced the license prices around Windows 8.

    I remember 20 years ago, Windows XP Home was $199 and Professional was $299 for a new license on a new computer. Vista and 7 were similarly priced.

    Since Windows 8, though, I just don't understand their pricing or licensing terms.

    24-hour time is equally uncommon in Australia and New Zealand, but it looks like it could be one of them based on the currency conversion, could also be Singapore though, which has Dollars very close in value to those
