Star How to Get a Refund for Windows in Poland
Linked by David Adams on Sat 30th Aug 2008 16:20 UTC, submitted by michuk
Law and Order Compulsory Windows purchasing by way of PC bundles is one of the biggest hurtles to alternative OS adoption. Some people have been able to fight it: "Reading the Slashdot article about Dave Mitchell from Great Britain, who got a 47 pounds refund from Dell for returning his copy of Windows was an inspiration for me to check, if it is possible in Poland, too. This is my success story."

I have been trying to do the same here in India for a Windows Vista Home Premium license that came preloaded with a HP Pavilion laptop.

I have tried making calls, e-mailed both Microsoft and HP regarding this but have not received any reply till date.

Can somebody help me out with this ?

Return the laptop and buy something without Microsft OS. So f**king simple.

Find out which local organisation is responsible for preserving consumer rights, and contact them.
