Default Get your $$$ back from microsoft

Just to spread the good news/wealth...

You can claim up to $100 (to spend on any computer/software/related
product from any vendor) without documentation of the Microsoft
product you purchased. For those of you non-CA residents I think as
long is the software was intended for CA use would it be
legal...YMMV. I guess you can claim more if you kept documentation
(which I didn't.)

What am I talking about?

Legit? I think so... Click CA link:

yes, this seems like a win-win situation, you can get $100 back without ANY documentation.

show them some documentation of you owning their software (legit, of course) and you can get even more
