I certainly know it's true in Italy (there was a strong debate about it, and lots of court sentences), but not much people applies for a refund (oem licenses are cheap). I am 99.99% sure in EU it's true, also (EU antitrust showed no fear of MS in more than one occasion ;). About US, sorry but I don't know... As an aside, when I wrote "The same is not true for macs, i suspect..." it was not my intention to be sarcastic and/or offensive with Karoliina. I simply think she has some valid and some not so valid point. I respect Apple's products, also: my complaint with Apple is that - in my opinion - they took a lot from the open source community but they didn't return much (CUPS apart, but it was in their interest).
