JC - I think you might as well give it up. Here's the deal - whatever your problem with your computer is, your redress is with the place you bought it or with the manufacturer. They in turn can go back to the people who sold them the components, even the OS - but you can't, you are one step removed. If you had bought the MS product directly you could go to the store you bought it at, or possibly back to MSFT - but you didn't. The license you "accepted" states pretty clearly that if you choose not to accept the license terms, go back to the manufacturer for whatever deal they will give you. MS may have some obligation to the people they sold the product to, but that doesn't happen to be you. There is just no legal or common business practice which you can fall back on - that's not how the commercial world works. What is straightforward here is that in any business transaction, your redress is with the seller or the manufacturer. MSFT is neither in an OEM product.
