Computer maker Acer lost a court case in France brought by a man who boughtan Acer laptop loaded with Microsoft Windows XP and other software, including Microsoft works, power DVD and Norton.
Antoine Gutzwiller said he wanted the 600 euro Acer laptop only, not the OS or the other software loaded into the machine. But Acer had no laptops clear of software. Further, the company charged Gutzwiller for the software bundle he didn’t want.
The court found in Gutzwiller’s favour, and ordered Acer to refund to him the full cost of the software, which the court worked out at EUR311.85. So the EUR600 laptop end up costing less than EUR300. Not a bad deal.
