the (vendor's) point is the warranty: the hw warranty is voided by the use 
of an OS not officially approved by them. Thus, hw+os is what you buy, like
for a cellphone (they say).

yep, moreover, in IT, if u go in the shop & buy a pc, then go home and check
the licence splashscreen, refute the terms, close & pack it all back in
orig. pkg, go back to the shop to ask for refund, you get a bitter surprise,
that you've NOT the right for a refund for such cases. The shop MIGHT agree
to get it back and give you a credit to spend in same shop for anything else 
you want.

You have the full refund right also in such cases (but not for just the part 
you dislike), ONLY if you buy on-line (ie via e-shop/e-comm). 

Cool eh? so here in IT you're better off buying on-line.
