Story: PC World denies Linux warranty void

Reinstall Windows to get a hinge repaired? Ridiculous!

They're "The Tech Guys", aren't they? Why not just swap out the hard disk with one with Windows pre-installed on it? OK, I suppose they'd almost certainly have to reactivate Windows too, but that wouldn't be too difficult for PC World either, would it? Particularly if they're only repairing the laptop's hinge...

I have a sneaking suspicion that you can't make a Windows repair disk without accepting Windows' EULA too, so I would consider the advice to make one to be completely unacceptable.

I'm glad I didn't buy my laptop from PC World!
