We all know the joy of acquiring a new laptop and the excitement of exploring its features and functionalities. However, the vast majority of laptops are only sold with a specific proprietary operating system: Microsoft Windows. The vendors do not remove the Windows license, and you must pay the entire price, even if you do not want to use this system.
This is unfair and we want to change it! Consumers should be able to buy laptops without any specific operating system, and should not have to pay the license price if they don't want to.

Shipping the computer to a fulfillment center probably costs more than the license refund for the ones that require it.

You could ask to be reimbursed for that too.
But that is not the point of this, I hope you understand.
