Italian judge tells HP to give refund for pre-installed Windows

30 October 2007 No Comment

An Italian judge has ruled in favour of a consumer who asked for a refund because the Compaq notebook he had bought came pre-loaded with Microsoft’s Windows XP and Works 8.

The customer complained to HP that he had no choice but to buy the laptop with the Microsoft’s omnipresent operating system and application pre-installed. HP/Compaq initially refused to accept their customers complaint, so the he took them to court earlier this year. HP has been ordered to refund the customer €90 for XP and €50 for Works.
