Californians Can Get Free MS-Settlement PCs

Posted by timothy on from the watch-out-for-strings dept.

soliaus writes "Seeing as how Microsoft recently lost the anti-trust lawsuit in California, Lindows has taken charge and is offering people free Lindows-related goodies. Basically, Lindows files a claim on your behalf, they keep the money, and you can get a copy of Lindows; a Click-N-Run subscription; a free PC; or other Lindows goods. More information about filing a claim on your own can be found here." (Note that this only applies if you purchased a computer for use in California.) Other companies will probably come out with their own approach to trading settlement money for goods, too, so if Lindows isn't your choice, waiting is a good idea.

    Yeah, it's precisely this kind of thinking that SCO needs. If we all make a claim against Linus then we'll all get paid out big time when SCO win the lawsuit.

    What's the difference between this and SCO, anyway? It's all lawsuits.
