The problem with getting a refund on your purchase of Windows XP is that you don't have the right for a refund. Once you install it you agree to the disclaimer that says if it doesn't work the way you want it to, it's not Microsoft's fault. Most programs have this warranty because if they didnt, every time the program crashed they could get sued. the GPL has such a disclaimer.
Pissed_Macman:
It's all cuz we pushed this technology on ourselves before it was perfected, so we got things like Windows. Then we did the same thing with the internet. Aren't humans smart?
Faust:
Who would buy a car that has a defective engine? When buying cars those who have no idea what they are doing will get a knowledgable friend along to help them. Yet when buying PC's everyone assumes the salesman knows what's best and gets Windows. We need to start a "bring a geek to your next PC purchase" campaign. ;)
Fett101:
I dunno many Windows PCs that don't run right outta the box. But for the few there undoubtedly are, car manufacturers end up with a few lemons now and then too.
And you'd have to be careful what geek you choose, or you'd end up with a $3000 machine.
