I recently bought a new computer. A nice 17" laptop. Actually I've been using Linux on Desktop since 1997 and I don't need windows. My laptop is sold with windows and it was said that if I don't want it I could save 50€.
So I could be happy. Actually no. Those 50€ should be reimbursed by the brand of my laptop. And for that I must send it to them (sending fees) and it make my laptop unavailable for 2 weeks.
So now they respect the law at splitting the price between the hardware and the operating system. But practically you will never ask to be reimbursed because it is too troublesome.
