Dell refunds Microsoft Licences

Marcus Dapp has managed to return the Microsoft Windows and Works licences for his new Dell laptop, and to get the money refunded. Apparently, it was quite simple, with only a couple of emails back and forth. Congratulations!

Read the story in English or German, and feel free to use his mails to get your own refund.

Though it's nice to see that it's possible to return unused licences, I'm looking forward to the day when my new computer comes with a free OS pre-installed, not with proprietary programs I don't want or need.

Dell customers want GNU/Linux pre-installed

At Dellideastorm.com, the computer seller is running a forum where people can post what they would like Dell to offer. At the top of the list are  -- you guessed it -- computers with GNU/Linux pre-installed. 

So what's the second-most popular idea, then? OpenOffice pre-installed. Also in the top ten are a laptop working 100% with GNU/Linux, the option to buy a computer without an OS, and Firefox pre-installed as a default browser.

Would be nice to see Dell give their customers what they're asking for.
