the (vendor's) point is the warranty: the hw warranty is voided by the use of an OS not officially approved by them. Thus, hw+os is what you buy, like for a cellphone (they say). > that by opening it you agreed to the EULA, so you could get a refund > for the bundle (software + hardware), not keep the laptop and throw yep, moreover, in IT, if u go in the shop & buy a pc, then go home and check the licence splashscreen, refute the terms, close & pack it all back in orig. pkg, go back to the shop to ask for refund, you get a bitter surprise, that you've NOT the right for a refund for such cases. The shop MIGHT agree to get it back and give you a credit to spend in same shop for anything else you want. You have the full refund right also in such cases (but not for just the part you dislike), ONLY if you buy on-line (ie via e-shop/e-comm). Cool eh? so here in IT you're better off buying on-line. -- paolo GPG/PGP id:0x3A47DE45 - B5F9 AAA0 44BD 2B63 81E0 971F C6C0 0B87 3A47 DE45 - 9/11: the outrageous deception and ongoing coverup: http://911review.org - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
