Israel are likely to say something like, "Since you are not running<br>
Windows your warranty is void," and then one would have to go through a<br>
small claims court again, attaching the email exchange and the refund<br>
confirmation to the suit...</blockquote></div><div><br>I'd like to comment on this. I have a fujitsu siemens. I installed linux and the laptop was many times at repair. Their mode of operation was to pull out my hd, insert a hd with windows, check, repair hardware and insert back my hd. <br>
<br>So this scheme can work for every one. They usually say at the lab, backup, etc. You always can claim that you don't ask them to repair the os, but only the hardware. They have their test disk which checks everything, independent of the os. And as last point, ask them where it's written that you have warranty only if you have windows. A lawyer won't write such a thing in these agreements/eula. <br>
