Refund?
I just spent 5 hours on the phone between MS, and HP, trying to "return" an OEM bundled copy of Vista.
According to MS, they don't accept returns on OEM software, it's the OEM's responsibility.
According to the OEM, the software is sold as a bundle, thus eligible for a "discount". If I return the MANDATORY copy of vista, I am no longer eligible for said discount, and would OWE THEM MORE MONEY!
I for one salute our new OEM overlords.
