Vista limited edition

OMFG… it’s true.

At the first look, I kept staring at it for minutes. I didn’t believe that the story was true, or that someone could even think of buying that crap. What am I talking about, you say? Give a look here, for example.

And, yes, I could write posts more often, if only exams gave me a break, and someone stopped bugging me every ten seconds :) .

How to get a refund for your unwanted copy of Windows

I’ve recently read an interesting article about how having back the money you’ve paid for the preinstalled Windows copy that is bundled with many personal computers. I know that this is an old story and almost everyone has ever read/heard about one million different ways to accomplish the goal. Anyway, I’m posting the link because the author of this article, while confirming that the refund call is long and tedious (if not useless, sometimes), has written down a small quantity of common you-cant-get-your-money excuses, along with the appropriate responses.

The full article is here: http://community.linux.com/community/07/01/03/227237.shtml?tid=12
