Pressure Mounts on Windows Tax?
,----[ Quote ]
| Please keep up the pressure dear readers. If you buy a computer where you do
| not âneedâ a Windows license, for whatever reason (see Simosâ suggestions for
| 4 of them above) then make sure you contact your supplier and request a
| refund. By all means use links and reports gathered around the ânet to
| support your claim.

| For a while I still felt relatively comfortable answering questions about
| Windows machines, but no longer. I tell Windows users to ask Windows users
| how to solve problems. I really donât think I can be of much help.

| unwanted software (Vista and MS Works). The big surprise was the
| refund we were offered: a mere GBP17 for Vista and GBP6 for Works.
