    I believe this is more related to Dell's draconian manner of getting
    you to accept the Micro$h*t Tax. IOW, no you may not refuse the
    shrinkwrap licence then get your money back for sh*tware you don't
    want or intend to use. If you don't accept, send it back and they'll
    return your money.

    I really like my I4k. It is good hardware and Dell do have decent
    policies about swapping out/in features at purchase time.
    Unfortunately, this doesn't extend to the bundled sh*tware. Dell's
    just as addicted to MS as pretty well everybody else is these days.
