Linux users, get your Windows refund today

,----[ Quote ]
| One good thing I can say about Dell is that 
| they seem to be granting refunds for Windows, 
| but only on new systems (not refurbished). The 
| key to getting the refund is to politely 
| contact them after you have received your new 
| PC, and state that you have read the Windows 
| license agreement on your screen, and are 
| following the instructions and asking for a 
| Windows refund. The last time I attempted 
| this, Dell shipped me a return label to send 
| back the Windows CDs. About 2 weeks after I 
| shipped the CDs back, I received a check in 
| the mail. I have to admit that was a very 
| surprising experience, in a good way. Today I 
| am still happily running Fedora 10 on that 
| machine.

| Otherwise, the 5-inch tablet will have multi-

| To recap, the Mini 5 is a 1GHz Snapdragon-
| powered netpad (did I just coin a phrase?)
| running Android 1.6 with 5 megapixel camera,
| Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G mobile. It should be
| selling for $1,098 before carrier subsidy.
