This is so obvious that it barely merits mentioning, but if it’s not covered if Linux is installed, then…just reinstall Windows. Sometimes the path of least resistance is the best one. I’m all for sticking it to The Man, but apparently the price of a new laptop isn’t worth ‘Viva La Revolution!’?

Any civilised society would not concur with such a scenario as to void a warranty when there is either a hardware or case failure or breakage due to a weakness in design, materials or the manufacturing process just because an alternative OS to the preinstalled OS has been installed on a computer. In other words, where a problem is not directly caused by the installation of another OS, then the warranty applies or should so apply in full for the life of the warranty. Any other paradigm is an insult to the intelligence of the purchaser of the item and to pure reason itself. Then again, business more often than not possesses no real reasonability or so little of it that it barely registers. Rationality, proverbially speaking, flies out of the window when it comes to business and its insidious pursuit of monetary gain or advantage over ethics and the will-to-good that is the hallmark of the hall of distinction and meritorious action.

Nor does a manufacturer have a natural right over the purchaser to limit in such an artificial fashion the right of the purchaser to install whatsoever OS on the system as they are desirous of doing. Any law enacted to the contrary is irrational, dictatorial and totally unnecessary. That the manufacturer designed and/or manufactured the item is irrelevant to the point at issue here, so long as the installation of the new OS isn’t the direct cause of the problem. A free society where freedom is cherished would not tolerate the denial of the rights of freedom to choose a specific OS over a preinstalled OS in the subsequent denial of the basic right of warranty covering the failure of design, materials or the manufacturing process in the produced and purchased item. Citing the voiding of a warranty by a non-causing factor is tantamount to criminal intent and activity.

Let, therefore, the control freaks disperse. Let them fade into the distance in a blink of an eye to be forever gone from the sight and experience of mankind. Let humanity, I say, be rid of their nonsense. For their crafty manipulation and utter control of the minds of humanity with their spurious logic, contortions of reason and law are not needed and should not be desired nor tolerated by humanity, either collectively or individually. The senseless one is the one who submits to the irrational and imprisoning cry of the control freak in accepting their skewered logic presented as a right of business.

I reiterate, no government has a natural right to legislate in favour of business to the control of the individual from their act of purchase of an item manufactured, distributed or sold in warranty when the design, materials or manufacturing process is at fault in the cause of the problem encountered with the item by the consumer. Corrupt business practice would have us believe that business can control what we do with our purchased item, beyond that which is legislatively legitimate and acceptable warranty stipulations as evidenced in the natural way of things. To impose the false stipulations through manipulation and control is entirely unnatural and perverse. This, such as it is, does no good and is no good for humanity.
