Californians Can Get Free MS-Settlement PCs

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.

This isn't exactly new. A swedish law professor has done a nice write-up on viral marketing, its future and several cases of it during the past decade.

Kick Microsoft out of the country, Redhat will move in and take their place.

There is no shortages of businesses, theres a short supply of big businesses but why do we care? Small businesses arent going to leave the state, local businesses wont leave, and new businesses just starting wont leave.
