Groan, I figured it out. The price is in pesos. I live in Mexico, remember? Now I've got to fight with MS to get them to charge me in US dollars.

A bit OT but many years ago in a Chico, California Denny's the manager received a bunch of menus printed in English but with pesos for the amounts.
For about a week he had great fun handing the menus to customers he knew.

That price is correct. 500 pesos = $38 or so.

Good luck with that. I get the feeling that the "Upgrade Assistant" process lacks flexibility.

Try Paypal. It converts currencies and now the server shouldn't be overloaded so it'll go through fine.

I am successfully running Windows 8 Pro right now. My credit card company confirms that $3.61 was added to the price due to currency exchange.

You should get a better credit card. I have no foreign transaction fees or currency exchange fees.
