it'll be a 'we regret to inform you' reply.
As you know, if you have never booted into the system then you are still entitled to a refund.

Those portables Rule! But they are too expensive, because I usually build a kick ass system for $500.00
NewEgg.com is THE best online component source! check out the refurb motherboards, cheap!

Here's an interesting site I just ran across:
http://www.windowsrefund.net/
But if you don't want to mess with Windows, here's a notebook site where you can get a non-Windows laptop:

Right no link, but I went to 'their' website (i will not link - I feel dirty enough' and entered refund. And got the following (everything else was for M$ money).
This is what I got.

very important: 2 points.
on the list of refunds requests that are ineligible, the first one shows that if windows is preinstalled, you are not eligible for a refund. Micro4oft says talk to Dell, and you know that Dell say talk to Microsoft. both are effectively saying 'talk to the hand'. The last one on that list shows that 'not for resale' products are not eligible. Qhave you ever heard of a copy of windows that is allowed to be resold? no. there is no such thing. this refund policy is hot air that has been cooked up for legal reasons and nothing more.
