Getting back your money for Windows OEM license

2011-05-18 15:39:48 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eComStation/message/85858;_ylc=X3oDMTM2NjcyYTJkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgxNDEEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA]

Roderick Klein reminds:

If you are going to buy a computer from a large manufactor, like a laptop and you are still wanting to get your money for included OEM license, well try it. I was recently again thinking about it after Warpstock again...

People keep saying that competition in the computer industry will not make a difference. From my personal point of view its because most people are used to Windows. You get and thats what you use...

Years ago I tried to get a refund for a Windows 95 OEM license with an IBM machine. In the end I talked to Microsoft and IBM only to run into a brick wall. The license was pretty crystal clear that if you don't agree with the terms of the license that neither Microsoft and the PC vendor is willing to license the product to you. In such a case you should contact the vendor for details on how to get a refund. In the end my request went to IBM HQ in The Netherlands, IBM HQ Europe in Paris and then on to the US. It was a pretty far going attempt only to get my money back. I don't know what will happen if I try today again...

But in most cases you wonder why as a user you should even listen to Business Software Alliance if vendors don't even honour your rights when it comes to the Windows OEM license.

I found this very interesting for people living in the European Union. The court case was in France, but still should be usable for other Eurpean Union member countries: Windows refund, Lenovo

"In November 2010, Mr. J. Petrus from France successfully won the case against Lenovo which previously refused to pay him the Windows tax refund. The Court of Cassation ruled in favor of Mr. J. Petrus, stating that the bundling was unlawful based on Directive 2005/29/EC.[42][43]"

Especialy with that in hand it might be fun to try again... We already pay enough to Microsoft when you buy a new computer. Unless you build your own computer...

Event: High five for Warpstock Europe 2011

2011-04-06 20:18:19 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [OS2VOICE, Gerrit Schoenmaker ]

Only 5 weeks to go before kick off on May 6th in the city of Haarlem, The Netherlands and hereby are 5 excellent reasons why you should not miss this event:

  • Meet great names in eComstation's history and listen to what they have to tell you. Never in the history of Warpstock Europe so many people from abroad (USA, Japan, France, UK, Germany, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, The Netherlands) do a presentation. The sessions schedule is already overbooked. Have a look for yourself at http://www.warpstock.eu/ en/agenda.html as the list of speakers is filling up steady.
  • The Warpstock Europe 2011 event location is situated in a beautiful environment and is an excellent place to relax. So, enjoy Warpstock Europe 2011 and at the same time have a short vacation in the heart of Holland. You are close to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, the sandy beaches of the dutch seashore and see spring in all its splendour in the "Keukenhof". And of course the Dutch offer you excellent public transport wherever you want to go.
  • This is what you always have wanted to do, a pilgrimage to the city where it all happens: "the making of eComStation". So, you might play the spy and take a sneaky picture of the Mensys HQ.
  • As a WSE2011 visitor you can enjoy the very special social event on the evening of the second Warpstock day, for free. Mensys and the organization board offer you a lovely canalboat ride through the canals of the city of Haarlem and the river "Het Spaarne" and "after sailes" a drink in one of the old tavernes in the cosy and ancient city center.
  • Warpstock Europe 2011 gives you an excellent opportunity to learn about the upcoming features of eComStation 3.0 from the guys close to the fire, be a participant and line up for the great Q and A session with all the session presenters. Sign up for the event at Mensys Shop and return home afterwards with the feeling, yes, this is it: Warpstock and eComStation forever!
