Solve : I've installed Linux -- Give me my Windows Refund!? |

Answer» http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=139627 This is making great reading -- I'm on page 2. Interesting to say the least, but; these are the PEOPLE killing Gates in Europe, ie all the EU lawsuits on microcrap. It is a shame but hey, he got us where we are today in puters. Kinda funny read and I understand the guy being pissed, but he's gonna lose. Little too much legal/technical at the end though..... nice post* It's a great alternative in many ways...but with Windows coming pre-installed on +90% of new machines and the firm entrenchment in the business world don't hold your breath EXPECTING to see anything change anytime soon...In my opinion, you know full well that when you buy the machine you are getting Windows on it. There are PLENTY of alternative retailers who will quite happily supply a machine with Linux (or any OS of your choice) on it. And if I remember correctly, the reason why these machines cost more is because they: - Do not have the bundled c*** (e.g. AOL, Norton) that brings down the machine cost. - Are produced in smaller quantities. Please, you are getting the machine cheaper than a "naked" pc. Quit moaning and just format the hard drive.Dilbert I shared your link with another site and gave you and CH credit for the find. Hope you don't mind.I really enjoyed the read. Robert [smiley=thumbsup.gif]Quote Interesting to say the least, but; these are the people killing Gates in Europe, ie all the EU lawsuits on microcrap.
