[News] How to Get "Windows Tax" Refunded

Linux geek gets Dell to splash out for Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| It's pretty difficult to buy a laptop without Windows these days. But
| what if you have no intention of using it? The EULA for Windows XP has
| this clause:
| 
| "You agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA by installing,
| copying, or otherwise using the software. If you do not agree, do
| not install, copy, or use the software; you may return it to your
| place of purchase for a full refund, if applicable."
| 
| Technically, then, you should be allowed to send it back to your
| place of purchase and get a refund. This is exactly what Dave
| Mitchell, a systems admin, did.

This isn't the first case which serves as precedence. It could evolve into
something that's akin to tax returns. Those who stick with Windows are
'suckers' because they don't reclaim what they deserve.
