Is there a repository of such cases like the "cases in Europe."  I would 
expect such cases to get much publicity in the Linux forums e.g. 
slashdot. 

The first such case that I recall, occured in Calif., US involving a 
Toshiba notebook.  The customer did not agree to the MS EULA and was 
able to get a refund from Toshiba (after much arguments).

The other case, I recall was an UK customer (again a notebook) who got a 
refund from Dell/UK for not agreeing to the Windows EULA.
