Windows eula advice

[ANDARIAL]

I will be getting a cheepy laptop this week that come pre loaded with Vista Basic
I was planning on installing some type of Linux
I have read on the web that if you refuse the Eula at First start up you are able to get a refund on the OS
Is this correct?and if so how would i go about doing this/and who/where do i contact?
Thank you

only a guess but i presume this is if you but the os separately.

No, there have been cases where Linux (and other OS) users have gone to the machine's OEM and asked for a refund for the included Windows license.
