I'd challenge that one 🙂 If I buy software, and it don't work on my
machine, I get my money back, one that works, or even store credit will
do! I don't care about any garantees or shrink wrap laws. If it don't
work, I wont leave the store alone without a working program (working on
my machine), or my money!
I once had a store go through all copies of a program, none worked, not
even on their machine! The clerk then said "Give me your name and number,
I'll call you when we get more". I said, bulls*it, I'm getting my money
now, you can wait a few days and maybe I'll come back. That will be the
day when I lay out hard earned money for nothing.
