Hi advocacy@freebsd.org (& bcc a few friends),
Summary of a news report in German at:
	http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,ra12m2/computer/artikel/219/134960/
Antoine G. in Paris France succesfully sued a vendor of an Acer
laptop who bundled in Microsoft unwanted.  Rebate 311 Euros, +
500 damages + 150 costs + manufacturer to pay legal costs.
Dell Germany rebatted a laptop by 78 Euros in March, for a non MS user.

Julian
