I don't have the text here in front of me, but what I understood was that it said if you don't agree to the license, you can return it to your place of purchase. As such, you return it to where you bought it, like any other product. Which in this case is the computer manufacturer, not Microsoft. There's no dispute about that wording. That is a matter of distribution not one of obligation. Microsoft is obligated by their agreement to pay the refund because the contract is between Microsoft and the customer, not the OEM and the custoemr. Its' microsoft's EULA, not the OEM. The OEM doesnt' make the software nor make the license to use it.
