Segment Two- windows Refund Day II– Or would that
be “Son Of Windows Refund Day.
Tonight on the show we will be joined by Adam Kosmin of
WindowsRefund.net to discuss the upcoming
Windows Refund Day II event in just 2 days, on the
23rd of January.
WindowsRefund.net has become the central point of collaboration
for those interested in putting an end to “The Microsoft Tax”. So
far, 10 people will be participating in Windows Refund Day II by
filing a court action against a computer manufacturer. This
strategy is a clear departure from the propaganda and rallies which
built the foundation for the original event. By taking this matter
into the courthouses, we are striving to define a legal precedence
that will empower future refund seekers.
