A victory for free software over the "Microsoft tax"

The Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) issued a judgment1 that
bans the "Microsoft tax," a commercial practice that discourages users
from converting their PCs to GNU/Linux or other free operating systems
by forcing them to pay for a Windows license with their PCs. PC
producers in Italy now cannot refuse to refund the price of the license
to purchasers that will not run Windows.
