    Give Amazon a shot. I have multiple shipping address with them and never had an issue, except for certain specific products are not being allowed to be shipped from countries of origin. They will tell you if the shipping cannot be performed at ordering time.

    cheers ...

    yeah, what he said...i'm pretty sure that amazon will block this shipping to australia...but what you can do, is just send it to a fictional american address for now, and in the meantime, try to find someone you can send it to in the states, cause you can change the shipping address anytime before it ships. But yeah, try sending it to austrailia first.....

    Not yet visiting Australia so I can't comment 100% but other than language setup I don't foresee a difference in the OS. Unless MS ships W7 minus IE8 to Australia like it does with the EU :D

    cheers ...

    I'll bring you a copy for free, right to your door.

    Shipping will be around U$5k though.
