French Judge Orders Refund For Pre-Installed XP

  2008-05-22 22:30:02
"A French user asked for a refund after buying an ASUS computer that came with Windows XP and other software pre-installed. ASUS tried to apply a procedure which cost more money to the consumer than they will give back... The court ruled in favor of the user, who received back 130 Euro (~200 $) for the software. Here is the ruling (PDF, French). In France, this is the fourth victory for refund seekers during the last two years, and many people are now filing for refunds (in French). Two French associations (AFUL and April) published a press release on this victory the same day an important hearing happened." dutch link :http://www.zdnet.be/news.cfm?id=85367 http://www.aful.org/communiques/court-paris-ufc-darty
