Wonder if any of you guys can shed any advice/experience of refusing
activation of a MS OS.
I've got my new lappy arriving with Vista basic OEM preinstalled
which I don't want to activate and use.
My old recently departed lappy has my XP home with License which I
wish to install and use on new lappy, I wish to refuse the license for
activating new Vista, return the documentation, sealed disk, license
etc to Microsoft and possibly receive a partial refund as I'm paying
for this somewhere in the new lappy purchase price.
I've heard of this being done before by a guy who took photographs of
each stage of the refusal before returning to MS and got a cheque for
£50 quid or so for his trouble, but I can't now locate this thread/
details.
It's grieving being forced to pay for something I don't want, and
wonder if there's any advice/experience of this.
TIA
