formica Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Just thought I'd help spread the word... Lindows website www.MSfreePC.com offers to assist Californians in processing claims related to a US$1.1 billion antitrust lawsuit settlement. Microsoft has demanded that Lindows take down the site, as it overly simplifies the process for consumers. Fortunately Microsoft has no legal right to pursue them... You can read a little more about it here... Microsoft's take down notice letter After years of Urban legends of Microsoft giving out money... it's actually partially true for Californians. As a background this is from the lindows site: "Microsoft was found guilty of anti-trust violations based on claims brought by the U.S. Department of Justice. Microsoft recently agreed to a $1.1 BILLION settlement to resolve numerous lawsuits alleging that Microsoft's behavior violated antitrust and unfair competition laws. This settlement brings with it some very good news for consumers! Eligible consumers who act quickly can receive their share of the $1.1 billion settlement. There is a limited time in which these funds can be claimed so you should act quickly. If you do not submit your claim in time, then Microsoft is not required to pay out the full 1.1 billion dollar amount." Spread the word... hope it can be of use to someone...
