Lindows takes advantage of MS' $1 billion settlement
Lindows announced the "MSfreePC" program (www.MSfreePC.com), described as "a web service designed to help Microsoft customers process their settlement claims from the $1.1 billion settlement Microsoft has agreed to pay."

In reality, the "free pc" and "free money" that the site talks about seem to be actually some credit to buy a LindowsOS PC, in order to trade with Lindows Inc. the right to collect the settlement money from Microsoft on your behalf. Read more: The Inquirer. |
