I just got my confirmation about the HP suite yestarday. Sure enough people are pissed off about the OS being stored on a partition of the HD and not getting a back up disk with the info. (Kinda hard to install an OS when the OS is on the drive that FAILED!!!!)
It asks me to sign a statement swaring that I am the ORIGINAL owner of the PC. Well I am not..... by that I mean this..
It was sent to me DIRECTLY from HP as a new Computer, however, it did belong to someone before me as I discovered when the CDROM failed. So what do I do??? Do I say I am the original owner? I cannot, I have to call the law firm that is handling the case and be advised. I will not purger myself for a free copy of an OS that should have been given with the PC! HP is EVIL!!

Well do remember, you don't own any Microsoft OS, you lease it. That is what the EULA says, its leased not brought. I would imagine that produces all sorts of horrible legal problems, or at least expensive ones knowing lawyers
Seriously though good luck fighting this and I hope you do win. Never much liked HP, always seemed like a bunch of jumped up printer makers. A nice bit of embaressment and coughing up for being tight on new PCs would do them some good.
