Hmm, there is a nice util hanging around called SmartInstall at http://www.iae.nl/users/grimaldo/OpenSoft/ that keeps a small dbase of all your compiled and installed sources. You can do a install -E foobar to clean out installed packages. install -L all lists all your efforts. recommendations for all compile-freaks....
What surprises me is that I have not seen one argument in this whole refund thing that makes clear how not only users are caught in a catch 22 but also the vendors. Clearly MS made contracts with these vendors wherin they are obliged to sell windows with theire hardware. If they would refund the software MS can hold them to the contract. Thats why most of them ask back the whole computer. Is that legal??????
