The advantage of the UK's take on stock options is the tax man wont try on tax you on money you never had and their is much less opportunity to get screwed out of stock - you must get the same stock - multi class share listings are not looked on kindly and can get you kicked of the UK indices. My mate made 125k on 5 years worth of stock options at BT and that was open to all staff - oh ad that's mostly tax free.
