Had this been around a while longer, there might well have have been mitigating circumstances when a certain supermodel paid a visit to the court after throwing her phone at her maid...perhaps her lawyer forgot to tell the court she was a beta tester.
I'm about to pick up a brand spanking new laptop in a couple of days. It comes complete with Vista, I have no choice in the matter. The first thing I am going to do is to slap a Kubuntu CD in the drive and get things set up the way I want it.
I'm not holding my breath regarding getting a refund for Vista, and whilst I realize that actually bundling an Operating System with a new computer may help prevent piracy or even increase market share for Microsoft, it does not take on board the fact that not everybody wants Windows. I am aware that not all end users are IT literate and capable of deciding for themselves, although I'm surprised that the EU actually allows this monopolistic practice to continue.
