No ways. If you pay M$t, you will certainly _never_ see your money back.
Don't accept to pay them.
See http://BFrere.net/VCF for details. Use consumer's associations,

You might try
to get a refund from MS, but that may be
hard and tedious.
If I can't get a laptop without the license I will sure try that.
The other
variant is to go the very hard but principled
way, i.e. as Brent did: sue them for illegal bundling (they
don't even detail how much the OS costs in the package).
Apparently (researched that some) forcing a customer to buy something that you
bundle with your product but is none of your products is illegal here in the
EU (that is how I understood it).
So even if I would win such a case, I don't have
the ressources to start
one :-/.
Costs just few stamps and some time.
