[sf-lug] Windows refund in Israel

[Christian Einfeldt]

hi,

http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/12/03/1949230.shtml

As Niv Lilian reports at Ynet News, Haifa (and the Haifa Linux
Club<http://www.haifux.org/>)'s
Zvi Devir just preferred to run Linux rather than the pre-installed Windows
on his newly bought Dell computer, and didn't want to pay for the unwanted
Windows system. Now Devir has prevailed, after a fight in Israeli
small-claims court, to become the first Israeli to obtain a Windows
refund<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3632861,00.html>(also
in Hebrew <http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3632367,00.html>),
winning the $137 that Windows added to the cost of his machine and escaping
the nondisclosure agreement that Dell had wanted him to abide by as a
condition. Perhaps others will follow his lead. *Update: 12/03 23:02 GMT* by

"BTW, the settlement was out of court, before any court sessions took place.
