[fedora-my] Getting a refund on Windows

[Ahmad Zulkarnain]

currently AFAIK none of the major laptop/netbook manufacturers allows us 
to fully customize what we want in the package. there are only a few 
brands that actually ship products without Winblowz pre-installed 
namely  Asus (prepackaged with Red Flag linux, chinese distro, 
non-useable if you can't read chinese characters), lower end HP and 
Toshiba (both ships with freeDOS). these often either a) not having all 
the bells and whistles that comes with a purchase that has Winblowz in 
them (my current Asus K40IJ doesn't even have a bluetooth module or a 
dvd writer FFS) or b) slightly subpar in terms of hardware performance.

not sure if Voodoo or Alienware products comes with the similar setup as 
I have no experience in dealing with them. but it would be nice to get a 
notebook with specs that we want without the bloatware that is Winblowz 
preinfected into that system.

on a side note, since 802.11n is no longer draft, i wonder if i can get 
my wireless module changed.

just my 2 cents.
