Ars Technica posted a news story that an Italian consumer group sues Microsoft over "Windows Tax"
This is not the first time ADUC has taken to the courts over Windows preinstalls. In 2007, the group successfully sued HP after it failed to abide by the terms of the Microsoft End User License Agreement, which explicitly permits a user to refuse to accept the terms and receive a full refund.Italian consumer group sues Microsoft over "Windows Tax"
The group claims that although the terms of the EULA are clear enough and include a provision for the refund, actually obtaining one is harder than it should be: PC manufacturers are failing to abide by their contractual obligation. These failures are claimed to be a result of Microsoft using its market position to unlawfully promote its products, to the detriment of users.
