I have done as suggested above and attempted my refund. I was told they 
would not do this as I should have bought the laptop without an OS. When 
I said that the retailer doesn't sell them like that they said there are 
retailers who do but could not name a single one or give me the price it 
would retail at.

Any suggestions or is it wipe and reinstall time?
