This is a hot topic in the Linux community. Here is a recent article (Jan 2007) http://community.linux.com/community/07/01/03/227237.shtml?tid=12 Most of what is written on the topic is about getting a refund on the Windows part of a computer purchase when you can't decline getting Windows on the hard drive. This situation is a bit more difficult as some vendors insist you return the computer too and get a full refund. Getting a refund on the retail version of Windows should be easier, hence nobody is writing about it. In years past my office manager got a refund direct from Microsoft on an Office upgrade. We had already installed it. She hated it becasue it was so much slower than what she had been using. I told her it was futile to even try. She proudly told me it was easy. MS sent us a check. As I recall we didn't even have to return the software. They accepted her promise to discard it. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
