That sounds like a lot of work for $199. Are we that desperate for money?
If this is intended as a protest of some sort, I can't see what effect it will have. I know few people who run Linux/BSD and don't also dual-boot Windows occasionally, and fewer who will proceed carefully, document everything, be persistent and keep their cool just to accomplish something as seemingly insignificant as getting a $199 refund.
And what a glorious victory it is!
Homosexuals, clearly.

Wouldn't it be easier to not buy it atall and get it off Bittorrent?
I have over 70 freaks, do you?
Ok now you're just fucking with me.
YOU FUCKING IDIOT FUCKSTICK MORONS! THAT WAS OFFTOPIC. YOU WANT FLAMEBAIT? CHECK THIS OUT:
Linux is dying. Windows is better because it's a superior product. Linux and BSD are just too insecure to be relied upon.
THERE, LETS SEE YOU FUCKING FAGFUCKS MODERATE THIS PROPERLY.
Don't think for a minute that just because you pirated Windows that you don't deserve compensation for the time spent downloading it. Sue for what you make per hour delivering pizzas times however long it took to download Windows. We're talking FORTUNE, baby!
Then buy a computer without the OS. What's so difficult about that?
It does.
That's your opinion. You're entitled to it. In my experience that's almost never the case.
WARNING FLAMEBAIT!
Let me put this as delicately as possible - fuck off and die. If you don't agree with what I say, just say so. If you think I'm posting flamebait, then get some moderator points and play god.
What about the GNAA?
Karma: The shiznight, mostly because I am the Drizzle.
Well you can pay Microsoft today for windows, or you can wait and pay SCO tomorrow for Linux ;)
Can you not read, you fucking mac-loving retard?
'nuff said.
Instead of getting a box with a preinstalled copy of Windows on it and going through the Stupid Small Claims Court Tricks, you could, oh, I dunno, maybe build a machine yourself or get one that didn't have an OS.
/bot, can you, and start yet another public jihad against MS was the sole point of this exercise in stupidity in the first place, right?
Of course, if you do that, you can't very well get your crusade posted on LinuxJournal and
The lengths some people will go to for their 15 minutes of fame amaze me. Build a machine, install your favorite GPL'ed OS, and STFU, already.
In Soviet Russia, Chuck Norris will still kick your ass.
Actually, I have better things to do with my time.
"I'm going to sue you because I bought a computer that had Windows installed on it."
I've never heard anything so ludicrous in my life. And it's clearly nonsense too, the retail copy of XP is worth $199, the OEM copy is probably not worth a fraction of that. If you get a machine with a copy of winxp on it, you probably got XP a good deal cheaper than if you'd bought it in the store, so you can't win a claim of more than the value of the OEM version of Windows XP, which ain't $199.
A remarkably dull article about a remarkably dull man who's prepared to do this sort of thing and tell the world about it in a million pages of text. On the other hand I felt the need to comment, so it can't have been that dull.
