Dell generally honours such requests. You can buy the laptop with Windows and when you first turn it on, you can refuse the EULA and contact the vendor ( Toshiba ) and tell them that you want a refund. They can't refuse. If they do, you can take them to the consumer court I guess...
Toshiba sells the software+hardware as a bundle, they aren't separate components. The only option for a refund is to return that laptop.
Nope. You can REFUSE the EULA when you first turn on the laptop. Refusing the EULA means you have NOT used M$ Windows and thus you can claim the refund. I am 100% sure of it. This is the only way you can get a refund on preloaded laptops...
Only if there is some sort of legal treaty btwn India and US. There is one btwn US and AU. So judgements in the US are valid in AU. Someone will have to file a PIL in India to get clarity on the issue. Also bulk buyers of hardware and software get different price terms, since the M$ covers the customer with an enterprise licence.
