If anyone is interested, here is the legality of it. If you have received any kind of confirmation email that states a price, that constitutes a receipt.

And a receipt is a contractual document. So you are entitled at THAT price.

I had to look into this in GREAT depth recently for work.

i got my confirmation email about at the low lahrd price.

the seller has to honor the lahrd price. if you were lahrdy enough

to make the purchase dont worry about it.

njlouch, is right. you are entitled to THAT lahrd price!!

The confirmation e-mail that I got is not part of their website, and it contains no such disclaimer.... Do they have a leg to stand on with that disclaimer on their site?

i would say that once you receive the confirmation, the fact that it was issued implies that they approved the transaction, whatever the reason. congrats on all who made the purchase. i was sleeping! :cry:

good luck and i hope you all get your drives, and if not, fight. this reminds me of the hp incident. the inquirer again? another neowin consumer drama?

      Dude get a clue, LTSC is Enterprise, not even legal for consumers, and ESU is not mainstream support cycle, just an extended security updates period.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.
