We were particularly interested in the<br \/>\nLenovo C300N500 series. They represent very good value for money and<br \/>\nseem to be very robust and business-like. We also know from experience<br \/>\nthat the Lenovo range is Linux-friendly and performs well on that<br \/>\nplatform. The model we are interested in is:-<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.laptopsdirect.co.uk\/Lenovo_N500_Laptop_NS75SUK\/version.asp?PID=1246<\/p>\n<p>However we run a Microsoft-free business. This is partly to save money,<br \/>\npartly because we are sick of all the security issues and other<br \/>\ninconveniences and failures involving Microsoft&#8217;s products and partly<br \/>\ndue to ethical reasons: i.e. we can no longer condone the way Microsoft<br \/>\nconducts its business.<\/p>\n<p>So we need to know whether you supply your products _without_ Microsoft<br \/>\nproducts pre-installed, i.e. OS free? Or failing that, does your company<br \/>\nhonour the Microsoft Vista EULA, that states:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept<br \/>\nthem, do not use the software. Instead, return it to the retailer for a<br \/>\nrefund or credit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That is, can we return the unwanted licences for a credit as per the<br \/>\nMicrosoft End User License Agreement please?<\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Garfield Lucas.<\/p>\n<p>References:-<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Vista EULA:-<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/download.microsoft.com\/documents\/useterms\/Windows%20Vista_Home%20Prem<br \/>\nium_English_d16c019b-fa71-4fc9-a51d-a0621bddb153.pdf<\/p>\n<p>Precedents for this:-<\/p>\n<p>Dell Customer gets Windows refund:-<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/news\/2006\/110706-dell-windows.html<\/p>\n<p>Linux programmer paid to uninstall Windows:-<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/news.softpedia.com\/news\/Linux-Programmer-Paid-to-Uninstall-Windows-40133.shtml<\/p>\n<p>How to return your unused Windows license and get your money back:-<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.cyberciti.biz\/tips\/how-to-get-a-windows-tax-refund.html<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; Original Message &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nSubject:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RE: &#8211; Sales Enquiry<br \/>\nDate:&nbsp;&nbsp; Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:30:07 +0100<br \/>\nFrom:&nbsp;&nbsp; [Laptops Direct salesperson]<br \/>\nTo:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [removed]@garfnet.org.uk<br \/>\nReferences:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hi,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks you for your enquiry, we are responding to emails, it is a very<br \/>\nbusy time of year for us at the moment which is why we haven&#8217;t been able<br \/>\nto respond straight away, if you would like to let me know your query<br \/>\nregarding these machines I will be happy to help.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry for the delay,<br \/>\n<strong><strong><br \/>\n[Laptops Direct salesperson]<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>*[Laptops Direct salesperson]*<br \/>\n*Sales*<br \/>\nTelephone:&nbsp; 0844 4124 566<br \/>\nEmail: [Laptops Direct salesperson]@buyitdirect.co.uk<br \/>\nFax: 0870 167 0801<br \/>\n**<br \/>\n*buyitdirect.co.uk *<br \/>\n**<br \/>\n*Our Brands:***<\/p>\n<p>laptopsdirect.co.uk<br \/>\nappliancesdirect.co.uk<br \/>\niViewCameras.co.uk<br \/>\nserversdirect.co.uk<br \/>\nprojectorsdirect.co.uk<br \/>\ndirectTVs.co.uk<br \/>\nacerdirect.co.uk<br \/>\nflattelly.co.uk<br \/>\nAirConDirect.co.uk<\/p>\n<p>***Opening Times and Contact details<br \/>\n*<br \/>\n__<br \/>\n**<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><br \/>\n*From:* [removed]@garfnet.org.uk [mailto:[removed]@garfnet.org.uk]<br \/>\n*Sent:* 11 July 2009 17:44<br \/>\n*To:* Sales<br \/>\n*Subject:* &#8211; Sales Enquiry<br \/>\nMail From : Laptops Direct<br \/>\nSubject : &#8211; Sales Enquiry<br \/>\nCustomer Name : Garfield Lucas<br \/>\nCutomer Email ID : [removed]@garfnet.org.uk<br \/>\nCutomer Tel.
