February 15th 1999 was windows refund day.
A bunch of #Linux users gathered outside Microsoft's HQ to demand a refund for their copy of Windows 98 that was bundled with their new PCs since the license terms state that they can get a refund if they don't boot up Windows.
Unfortunately Microsoft said the refund has to come from the manufacturer, and the manufacturer claimed the refund has to come from Microsoft.
No refunds were issued that day.
