Hi Otto,
I remember you told me that there is a law and possibility to get Windows refund in Finland if I do not want to use it on my PC. Can you give me some directions/hint regarding how to do it?
There are two related issues A) Can you get a refund of the license if you buy a computer with Windows?
Heard that at some instances the refund has been around three euros... Perhaps that could be challenged somehow, if its still the case.
B) Can you resell the Windows license?
The court case was not exactly on reselling OEM-licenses separated from their hardware. The case means that reselling your hardware together with the license is certainly permitted, but it probably didn't answer this question directly. Is it so people are interpreting it? It would be interesting to follow such a case though...
