How to get a Refund on Your Unwanted Windows

"Serge Wroclawski recently contacted Dell to request a refund on the 
unwanted copy of Windows XP that came pre-installed on his computer. 
Somewhat surprisingly, Dell complied. Wroclawski admits that the $52.50 
refund was more of a victory in principle than anything else, but it was a 
success nonetheless. Using his tips and techniques readers can try their 
hand at getting a refund of their own. Wroclawski cautions that you should 
be prepared for a long haul: the process could take hours."

As minor as this may seem it would have been unthinkable just a couple 
years ago for a major pc peddler to give a refund for the OEM version of 
windows they force you to take.
