FYI, in some EU countries I believe it is now possible to get reimbursed
by Microsoft for the price of the Windows OS "forced" onto the customer
when purchasing a PC...You just have to claim that you wanted to
purchase only the bare hardware and that the OS contained in the bundle
was a "forced sale" because you planned to use another OS and install it
by yourself. In the case you file such a claim, Microsoft is required by
law to reimburse you the equivalent amount (and they will do it, believe
me !). Of course, there is a catch: the general public does not know
about this and the computer retail stores absolutely avoid to inform
them about their rights....
EU regulations pertaining to fight such abuses and also in the domain of
private data protection is way beyond what Switzerland or the USA do...
When will the Swiss Parliament start discussing these issue - nobody
knows - but lobbying is very active to avoid these sensitive topics to
emerge to the public.

Nice to see preinstalled Ubuntu on decent computers in Switzerland!
Thanks for the initiative!
Do you plan to provide "tower" computers too? I am in the market for
one at the moment, and would love to avoid the MS tax, as well as
shipping costs if possible (system76 is a bit far).
Cheers

Hi Hansjoerg,
You are supposed to that yourself, it is a wiki. And to
