Lenovo Requires NDA For Windows License Refund

Posted by timothy on from the deserves-a-raise dept.

tykev writes "A customer wanted to return the license for preinstalled Windows Vista Business that came with his Lenovo laptop. After some lengthy negotiations with representatives of Lenovo's technical support and management, he was offered financial compensation for returning the license in the amount of CZK 1950 (USD 130, EUR 78), pending his acceptance of a non-disclosure agreement that would cover the entire negotiations with the company and its results. He declined and published his experiences on a Czech Linux website. The website editors decided to reward the customer for publishing the article by paying him an author's royalty in the same amount as was the offered compensation for returning the license."

    Oh BS. Go buy a Dell then. Passing up a high-quality, feature-packed laptop over some NDA requirement is just being silly.
