A nice piece about how to sue in small claims court for a Microsoft refund from Linuxjournal.

] Judge: The defendant didn't show up, but Mr. Oualline you
] still have to prove your case. You say that they owe you
] some money. Why?
]
] Me: I bought a computer from them, and when I booted it
] up it displayed a license agreement with a long list of
] restrictions that limited what I could do with my
] computer. It also said that if I didn't agree with the
] license agreement, I could get a refund.
]
] Judge: I take it you didn't get your refund.
]
] Me: They sent me an e-mail yesterday offering me one, but
] it was only for the software. I want my court costs too.
]
] Judge: You removed the software from your system.
]
] Me: Yes.
]
] Judge: You installed something else.
]
] Me: I installed Linux.
]
] Judge: Judgment for the plaintiff.

HAHA! If I buy another x86 system, I totally need to try this.
