If they were faulty, could you not just get them replaced under the guarantee? > I heard someone bought a Win_7 box from them, who when he asked how to > get familiar with it ( he was used to XP ), got the brush-off, in very > short order - they refused to help him, in any way That does no chime with my experience at all. I have always found them very ready to help and very helpful. They have not even blanched at the L word. > To circumvent this deadlock, I'm going to help him migrate to a Linux > OS, with help/support from/through our Ports LUG Far be it from me to dissuade anyone from installing Linux for someone else, but why not give him the help he wants with Windows 7 and then install Linux as dual boot? It seems a bit of a pity to blow away something for which he has paid good money - and Novatech overtly charges for Windows. > No need to leave anyone out in the cold, like the box-shifters seem to > like to do ! In my experience, and I have bought a lot from them over the years, Novatech does not leave people out in the cold. I would be interested to know what had happened to get your acquaintance into this situation.
