"The Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) issued a judgment that bans the "Microsoft tax," a commercial practice that discourages users from converting their PCs to GNU/Linux or other free operating systems by forcing them to pay for a Windows license with their PCs. PC producers in Italy now cannot refuse to refund the price of the license to purchasers that will not run Windows." https://fsf.org/blogs/community/a-victory-for-free-software-over-the-microsoft-tax
