Microsoft sues Comet for producing 94,000 counterfeit copies of Windows
- AndrewDucker 15y agoIt staggers me that a reputable high-street company like Comet would do this. I'd love to know what on earth they were thinking!
- mooism2 15y agoIf they were only giving the CDs to purchasers of laptops that came with Windows preinstalled but without Windows install/recovery CDs, then morally I don't see the problem. Legally... I hope they checked with their lawyers.
- Ctech237 15y agoUnfortunately this seems to be common in the UK. If you go to Laptopsdirect co uk they do the same thing. When you add a laptop to your basket they add a “Restore and Recovery Disk” to your order for £15 (~$24) even though laptops come with this CD sealed in the box or you can create it from an image file on the laptop. When I questioned them via telephone they quickly backed off and took it off the order.
