And the fact that Dell is : shipping some systems without Windows implies that they shouldn't be : claiming to customers that the "can't" do the same with other : systems. It is setup such that getting a refund is impossible. MS says go to Dell. Dell says go to MS. If push comes to shove, they'll say that "return for a refund" means something other than you think it means. You'll have to return the whole laptop to get a full refund. There's no way to win. While the ELUA might seem clear, lawyers can twist them around and companies can take a position that will cost too much $$$ to fight.
