Microsoft tried a lot of weird things preventing piracy or refunds.
I remember the Windows cd cases were protected by this seal. If you opened the cd case to install Windows the seal broke and that was kinda your agreement you were not eligble for any refund. However, it was very possible to click open the hinges of the plastic jewel case, use the cd and put it back on its case, so the seal did not break.
