    This contribution contains a commentary of case law Cass. civ. 1ère, 12 July 2012, No. 11-18807. This decision complies with the law of unfair commercial practices: as long as the trader does not commit any unfair action, tied sale of computer with pre-installed software is not illegal. This decision does not resolve the issue of the price of the computer's components.
