Lenovo Ordered To Refund 'Microsoft Tax'

angry tapir writes with an excerpt from an article over at TechWorld: "A French laptop buyer has won a refund from Lenovo after a four-year legal battle over the cost of a Windows license he didn't want. The judgment could open the way for PC buyers elsewhere in Europe to obtain refunds for bundled software they don't want, according to French campaign group No More Racketware."

Nobody cares about double standards. We only care about hating on Windows.

The question is rather irrelevant, however, if Micro$oft were going to sell tyres, I guess they will have magnets built in to attract nails, will have to be filled up with Micro$oft air and will have valves that leak so much that you will need to inflate them every three kilometres. Also, they would work only on Micro$oft roads and you would have to pay license per kilometre on top of the price of the car.....

And a L!nux car would have to be filled with L!nux air and would only work on L!nux roads and would not be able to drive to most entertainment venues...
