It does seem weird that they have released that lower spec machine in the states, the eu model I bought came with win 7 home premium and 2gb of memory.
Yes, I just looked at amazon.co.uk and it has 2GB memory, Windows 7 Home Premium, and 320GB disk (instead of 160GB)

The US hobbled version is $US484, while the EU version is GBP456 (about $US659). Subtracting off the 15% VAT in the UK would lead to a USA price of $US560. This would be a far better deal than my upgrading just the OS and memory. And I would get double the hard disk space too.
