Eu residents - Force stores to include the OS Disk
Hi there
If you live in an EU country subjected to that rediculous Browser rule why not suggest to the EU commission that a better policy would be for ALL computers bought from retail outlets with an OS pre-installed should ALWAYS come with a copy of the MS install disk (or linux distro) and not just rely on those rediculous "restore from hidden partition" type of solutions.
You've (in the case of MS software) paid for the license so you should get either a full install disk or the licensed OEM version.
(I always haggle for a full version of the OS in any case - in these times stores want to make sales).
(in the case of W7 it's not so much a problem at the moment as a lot of people will be getting W7 upgrades - but once it's been out for a while with a lot of machines having W7 pre-installed we might also get that nonsense again of no install disk).
This seems to be a much more SENSIBLE policy but Sense and the EU commission is probably a contradiction in terms.
