Default Ok, Is it possible to return this stuff (XP home) to whence it came.

Can one return this "(#*#&#--@)" better known as Windows XP home edition
back to its wonderful creator for a refund?

Thanks

It depends on where you bought it. Ask the vendor.

Hi Malke:

You may want to reconsider.
If your hardware is good enough to load Win XP, there shouldn't be too much of a
problem.
I'm a living testimony: too old to really want to change from W 98 (which I
love), I finally adapted my PC for dual boot: Win 98 and Win XP.
That way, at least, I had not given up Win 98.
Once I started using XP, I found that what I feared most was the fear of
changing over.
Recently, I had reason to totally wipe my HD's, and installed Win XP only.
Now, I don't miss Win 98 anymore.

My advice: give it a chance.

Steve;
Return it directly to the store where purchased.
Or if you live in North America and it is retail, NOT OEM:
