“Those hoping to get money back for their unused operating
systems during Windows Refund Day met with locked elevators at
Microsoft’s Foster City, Calif., offices.”
“Marti and other Linux supporters held the event to protest
having to pay for a preloaded copy of Windows, even though they
never use it and have installed another operating system instead.
They say the Windows licensing agreement provides for a refund if a
user doesn’t want Windows. The issue mostly affects owners of
laptops because desktop computers can be made to order without
Windows.”
