the manufacturer of their computer and/or operating system to

I heard an interesting tale last night at a UG meeting

If you purchase a PC and it has NT or Win95 on it, and you remove it
to run another OS such as OS/2. You take the licence and the
software, send it off registered to MS, saying that you don't accept
the license agreement and get a refund.

Quoting from the MS NT v4 CD I have right here:

Important: You must accept the enclosed License Agreement before you
can use this product. If you do not accept the terms of the License
Agreement, you should promptly contact the manufacturer of the
computer for information on returning the product for a refund. 

I understand that MS Win95 can bring a $99 refund.
