Re: [ossig] Windows Refund ?

["Chia, Chin Yau" <chiacy@sinchew-i.com>]

I asked one of the Toshiba and NEC dealer concerning this issue and they 
claimed that every notebook shipped with Microsoft hologram at the bottom of 
the notebook, as a proof of EULA license, and cannot be removed.

So now, I forget totally PC notebook and focus my interest on iMAC which is 
much cheaper and better and I know I can still carry out my Open Source stuff 
under iMac without problem.

Rgds,
