As mentioned I'm duplicating this statement since the thread got mingled with the Belarc thread. It's always a bad idea opening a new thread for an offshoot of the prime issue. Mea culpa.
I'm only quoting, so it's yet to be confirmed. Words to the effect:
"Dell have relented, and are allowing customers the route to that Key."
It's my intention to prod Asus with this information in the hope of a change of policy. I will NOT travel the world without the key to my OS. Pity, I quite like my shard of metal.
I'll may well install the W8.1 MS subsidized to resolve this issue, and try to master an OS designed for girlies.
But I shouldn't have to.
