Title: signature

I would seriously recommend this. Some of the warranty experiences that I have had require you to show the error exists with the tools that the vendor provides for windows. Regardless of the fact I had Solaris spewing messages about unwritable blocks on a disk, they still wanted that message from their diagnostic before they would replace it.

I seem to recall that some hardware vendors reluctantly offered refunds for the unused MS Windows software under the right circumstances.  You might look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_refund

Warranties for general-purpose computer hardware that dictate what
software you can install are unheard of! It would be a sad day for our
rights if they come to pass.
