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