    Needless to say I have been inundated with "non-genuine' info regarding my Windows XP OS.

    I bought my tower new (customised just for me!). It already had XP on it but no cd. Same as my laptop. I was told by the store I bought the lappie from that it is all done this way now - no cd- and that if the system crashes, I can go online and get the OS. DUH! If the b***** sytem crashes, I wont have internet to go on line!

    Anyway - now I am expected to fork out over A$250 for the 'priviledge' of owning a 'genuine' XP OS. I fully expected that the one running on my 'puter right now was the real deal! AFter all I didn't purchase from the local newspaper or backyard shonky!

    A$780 for a tower and a bill from Microsoft to boot!

     

    Guess it is just my damn lucky day!

    You can report that reseller here at www.howtotell.com so we can take legal action.

    Suhlies,

    If you were billed for a genuine Windows XP operating system and did not receive it, have you confronted the merchant?  Have you filed a small claims court complaint?
