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?"

    ...we just litigate every competitor into going out of business. In what world is that anti-competitive?

      Who modded this down?? This person makes a good point. Here we are talking about MS basically beating everyone out of business, and the fact that lawsuits have been filed against MS for that very thing, and here's MS blatantly doing what they were just sued for...I'd mod this for Interesting...

    ooh yeah good one. what's this stupid obsession with "slashdotting sites out of existence" in every fucking article? so slashdot gets alot of visitors who may follow a link, big fucking deal. quit acting so damned proud, you can't put it on a resume "I am a slashdot member, and there are alot of us, we click links."

    That when I said this would happen, and that Lindows would just lap up the extra free publicity from yet another Slashdot front page story, I got modded down as a troll.

    Trolling's just another word for telling people what they don't want to hear, apparently.
