Hiya fellow linux users and HP press office.

Well as you all know in the UK it's almost impossible to buy a decent (and I 
include HP laptops here) system without paying for windows.

I cannot accept the licencing terms that Microsoft have on their windows 
licence.

So I'm wondering how do I get a refund from HP for the OEM licence that was 
bundled on this laptop?

Anyone with email addresses please reply.

I have photo's of me clicking on no I do not accept the terms of the licence.

I'll take photo's of me installing OpenSuse (and Nexenta tomorrow) in a few 
minutes.

Lets see if HP can match Dell who do refund OEM licences.

BTW In the US I could have got this laptop a lot cheaper - with 2gb of ram and 
with Suse on it direct from HP hence I got this one - HP3625 instead of the 
Dell I normally get.
