They demanded a refund for something they didn't want, but were forced to pay for: Microsoft Windows 98. Today's video examines one of these protests, which occurred in California's Silicon Valley, and the battle that these users fought to get their money back. ● Join our forum community: https://osforums.net ● Gear I use to make these videos: https://www.kit.com/mjd ● Affiliate Links Get a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL of Amazon Prime: https://amzn.to/2xVmMB3 Get 2 FREE Audiobooks with Audible: https://amzn.to/2Ovylse Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=teammjd-20 Save 10% on PDF Expert: https://pdfexpert.com/store?code=MICHAEL_MJD ● Follow Me: Twitter: https://twitter.com/mjdtweets Instagram: http://instagram.com/mjdmichael Facebook: https://facebook.com/mjdmichael ● Music/Credits: Title: South London HiFi - Sunrise Drive Source: YouTube Audio Library Title: The Brothers Records - Sleeplessness Source: YouTube Audio Library Title: The Passion HiFi - Friday Source: http://www.thepassionhifi.com/beats/free-beats/ Title: Twin Musicom - Talky Beat Source: YouTube Audio Library Title: Bad Snacks - Easy Sunday Source: YouTube Audio Library VHS Intro Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp571uEnWpg News reel footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKr9wcQyyHo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojhy6XwVi2k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMshiO2hRqU Some Photos: John Beale Amazon Affiliate Notice: I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

  On 15th February 1999, fans of Linux - & other non-Windows OSes - gathered at Microsoft HQ in Washington to demonstrate against the company’s monopoly in the OS market, seeking refunds for the Windows licenses they’d acquired with new PCs. It became known as Windows Refund Day. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsRefundDay
