There's something I've always wondered, Given my passion for computers and computers in general, namely, why would any laptop / netbook or PC purchased in a retail shop should have a pre-installed OS. Windows. Right because even if committed (picture) is just to slam garantirevi that the cost of that license is negligible because the combined sales of the PC is actually rather a lot different, no doubt that operating system will have a considerable cost on the machine you are buying. And more, why should I be forced to buy a PC with Windows? Could it be that wants to put something else? Today, solutions based on Linux, and finally user-friendly I would say, undoubtedly abound, so if a few decades ago all this would be acceptable, Today with all the speeches that are made on’Abuse of dominant position and guarantee of free market as well as the competition why still this?
And indeed after a few decades ago, The computer journalist Paul Attivissimo was able to obtain a refund of the unused license, although with many difficulties. The most puzzling aspect of this affair and that in a matter of course know, is that in reality there would also be a way to repay the cost of licensing Windows when they buy a PC and we did not use. First conditio sine qua non to request such reimbursement would be NOT accepting the EULA agreement which should appear at the first start of the new PC; thing that you look good dall'avvisarvi course.
Clearly then,, as if it were needed to understand, quest'aberrazione Microsoft is certainly responsible for that, once again, use its strong position in the market to distribute their products without proper justification, damage to users and competition. And mind you, This discussion goes on practically forever, so think a little how many billions have been earned in this manner totally illegitimate. Even more serious is that you allow these gentlemen to proliferate even in this manner, when it is obvious that pre-installing such a distribution based on Ubuntu Linux (for one thing) the cost of PCs and notebooks / netbooks could fall further.
Fortunately, all this also has noticed the’BRING, who recently filed with the Court of Milan, a beautiful act of summons against the Redmond, right to obtain a refund of unused licenses in PC. The curious can read and discharged the writ filed directly this address. It, instead, think back in the cases provided by law for class action you can always join, informing you directly at the site of’BRING. It's never too late to shell out some money to Microsoft no?
