As Niv Lilian reports at Ynet News, Haifa's Zvi Devir just preferred to run
Linux rather than the pre-installed Windows on his newly bought Dell
computer, and didn't want to pay for the unwanted Windows system. Now Devir
has prevailed, after a fight in Israeli small-claims court, to become the
first Israeli to obtain a Windows refund (also in Hebrew), winning the $137
that Windows added to the cost of his machine and escaping the nondisclosure
agreement that Dell had wanted him to abide by as a condition. Perhaps others
will follow his lead.
