Lenovo - schizophrenic Microsoft Windows Vista refund in Germany

Today I read Hanno's blog entry about his failed Microsoft Windows Vista refund. He used the same formula as I did. He got the answer (rough translation):

We won't refund your windows-license, because we think it's an integral part of the product.

Side not: I got 30 EUR without any answer on my bank account.

As you might know we have a Windows tax refund where we want to summaries all essential information about this topic. (Yes the page is in the first beta ;) ).

If you have information about Windows tax refunds, especially Lenovo with in Germany at the moment, please report your experience to FSFE's German Team under germany@fsfeurope.org.

Stallman: "Cloud computing is a trap"

The guardian has an article about "cload computing":

"One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control," he said. "It's just as bad as using a proprietary program. Do your own computing on your own computer with your copy of a freedom-respecting program. If you use a proprietary program or somebody else's web server, you're defenceless. You're putty in the hands of whoever developed that software."

(Read the whole article.)

I also do not understand why so many people give away the control over their data. Especially as the prices of small USB storage is so low...

Let me know your opinions on this on discussion at fsfeurope.org.
