Hi, I remember that there was at some stage, soemthing with the EULA with Windows. Essentially, it can only be valid if you voluntarily accept it, therefore, if you don't you can uninstall it, send the CD's and documentation back to Microsoft and they have to "refund" you the value. Never tried it, or talked face to face with ayone that has tried it though.
Any thoughts?
