Microsoft Sends Takedown Notice To MSFreePC.com

Posted by simoniker on from the misrepresentation-or-public-service? dept.

DJFelix writes "Just to add some more drama in California this week, legal counsel for Microsoft issued a takedown notice to Lindows CEO Michael Robertson, demanding the immediate shutdown of the MSFreePC.com website. The MSFreePC.com website allows people who purchased certain Microsoft products in California, or used certain Microsoft products in California to submit a claim in the $1.1 billion class action suit Microsoft lost in California. The site is still up for now, but how long will it last?"

    When will you people stop acting indignantly shocked by everything Microsoft does? We already KNOW it throws its lawyers at anyone who threatens its bottom line.

    Slashdot's 'Microsoft is Evil' stories are like someone who posts every time his cat does something cute. Yes, we KNOW it behaves that way, we know it will *continue* to behave that way, we don't need headlines about it any more.

    And Microsoft itself is like a T.Rex at the end of the Mesozoic era: it's big, it's powerful, but its world is changing and its days are numbered. It isn't worth our attention any more. Let's please get back to stuff that matters?

    Lindows CEO Micheal Roberts is a lying scumbag? Who would have ever guessed?
