I sent in my Acer Aspire one the other day since the fan was starting to go on it. Its the linux version with 1.5gb of ram and 160 gig hdd. Acer support is usually quick as hell for me and I've always loved dealing with them. This time was no different, it was gone for 2 days and I got my Aspire One back today. However...
The note included with it mentions what they did. Here is what it says:
Repair comments: replaced thermal module, updated bios, reloaded software, unit was tested fully
Now I sent it in with Ubuntu 9.04 beta on it and Windows 7 Beta. I wasn't thrilled when I saw they formated it but I can't say I was sad to see the data go, its not a big deal. I carried on and booted her up, fully expecting linux to be on there when, to my suprise... Windows XP came up. Acer gave me a copy of XP that I didn't pay for! Silly Acer Thats gona get you sued.
