Possibly. But they sent this response only after I had had enough (approx. 3 months) and my language and tone showed that I was at the end of the line and told them that I will kill my account within next week. > <gyan> > Reminds me of my college days when instead of using Matlab, I made it > a point to do all my assignments in Octave and explicitly print > *Generated using Octave* on every single graph I submitted.

I have started discussions/debate with Lenovo starting this afternoon to see if I can reclaim M$ tax (Vista Business). I am not against their installing the OS but not giving me a choice to buy the computer with an alternate or no OS. It's not for them to decide what software I am going to run on my computer. I'm writing this email from the same laptop using Ubuntu 8.04. Let's see how it goes. I hope I have enough patience. -- Manish _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
