You wouldn't be able to use it regardless, it's more a matter of how difficult it would be to get back to usable. Basically, my presumption is no operating system at the low end. If they weren't going to do that, they wouldn't have said unusable is my thought on it. They would have said removing company content.

Now, if you never connect to the internet again, you'd never know. But you'll find out what it is once you do. Basically, at a minimum you'd have to reinstall windows, likely with a new copy, in my opinion.

That helps a lot. Thanks.

NP. You could always call and ask them if there's a way to do the purchase now or specifically what they will do to it... but other than that I'd send it back rather than risk paying for a paperweight.

That's what I'm going to do. It's probably going to save me $175. It would have been pretty lame waking up New Years Day to a blocked screen. Thanks again.

I did call, because I wanted to keep it for my kids, but I hadn’t signed up during the purchase program. They said it was too late to buy it and that it will be completely unusable on 01/01. I’m sending mine back.

Me too. Thanks for the confirmation.

The problem with all these green slips is that you have to fly them. Could we please get a Reserve Day with Conflict... where they move my reserve day on to an X day, pay me double, and let me stay home to work on my car?

Is it true that you can NOT green slip over a vacation day?
