</span>I remember that, as part of BALUG many years ago. I never got a refund and<br>
Microsoft tried to turn it to their advantage by setting up a booth. I think<br>
there's a documentary out there somewhere.<br>
<br>
When dealing with warranty crap from laptop vendors I just take an image of<br>
the drive. If I have to send it in I don't include the drive anyway, and I've<br>
never been given grief over it. Still, having an original hardware backup<br>
like that is kinda cool.<br>
