yep, I was going to chime in with that URL. Do it, and do it all in writing. And let us know how you get on (I will more than likely be buying a new laptop in the next few months and will be attempting the same exercise). PS. bear in mind Australian consumer law is much better than the yank ones, M$/Dell will try to fob you off citing USA laws and/or licence agreement provisions that are over-ridden in Australia by the trade practices act and consumer protection legislation.
