[LBo] Re: Vista EULA forbids use within virtual machines

[Bert Van Kets]

I just bought a new computer and it comes with no OS too. I'll be 
running FC6 on it.

I have heard that Dell does give you the opportunity to get a refund if 
you want to return the Windows you got with your new computer. It's not 
worth a lot as it's an OEM version from a large reseller.
