Why Microsoft is buying Lindows for California residents | |
|
||
| Time: 09:34 EST/14:34 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

At the top of the MSfreePC.com home page, it says, "In connection with a legal settlement, you may be eligible for a FREE PC and allowed to purchase up to $100 worth of software paid for by Microsoft®!" The catch is that you must live in California. And to use MSfreePC.com to collect your share of the Microsoft antitrust settlement booty, you must accept it in the form of Lindows products, a major piece of irony that Lindows CEO Michael Robertson says is not in the least accidental. I asked Robertson, "Aren't you afraid that Microsoft won't love you any more after this move?" A rough paraphrase of his answer, perhaps distorted since both he and I were talking on cell phones at the time: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. They weren't my friends before this!" | ||
