That was the easiest way to give it a quick test. If there was a problem I could have returned it and exchanged it for another one without going through a big song and dance. > Why you didn't convert those useless window$ into cash? The aforementioned big song and dance. It wouldn't be worth the hassle and argument. I bought it as it came and made it into what I really wanted, so that was sufficient for me. If there was a clear procedure to follow (Send in form X and we will mail you a refund) then I would have followed that. But there isn't. I have never been completely sure if MS Windows actually raises the cost of a computer anyway -- the companies pre-install a bunch of junkware and advertising that may (or may not) cover the cost of the Windows license. If that is indeed the case then a computer without a Windows license may legitimately cost the same amount or more than the same computer with a Windows license due to the lack of subsidy from the bundled advertising. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
