I agree, this isn't Microsoft's problem, it's Walmart's problem. They didn't inspect the item before reboxing it and placing it back on the shelf. This is a problem at ALL retailers, and something they need to start thinking about for future. With more and more devices containing some sort of storage device, they need to learn how to clear it before re-selling a returned item. Heck next thing you know the RIAA, MPAA, etc will go after retailers who resell an item with video and music files "pre-loaded" from someone else's return.

This will be a problem from here on out for all retailers selling devices with storage capabilities. Heck if you get caught in the future from the RIAA and they say you downloaded music, just tell them you bought the computer at Wal-Mart and it came with it "pre-installed" and you were just enjoying it. "Honestly, it was a cheap open-box item, and it was nice of Wal-Mart to fill my 120 GB hard drive with free music."

Companies need to watch themselves, and learn how to "recondition" devices before putting them back up for sale.
