MS goes after Lindows overseas

I guess Microsoft figured that their DOJ "settlement" doesn't extend to 
beyond the US borders. And Lindows really ticked them off with 
http://www.msfreepc.com/

As an aside, the "Free PC" deal has expired, however, they are still 
operating as a transfer agent for people to give their settlement checks 
to open source project, as a sort of clearing house.

As much as I prefer other distributions, Michael Robertson is doing the 
RightThing here. How many CEOs do you know would give up their 
Turkey-day holiday to go support some low-tier reseller of theirs sit 
through some depositions - in fsckin' Europe, btw?

For comparison, our Congresscritters passed this Medicare "reform" bill 
(aka Big Pharma on Easystreet Now Incentive/Stimulus bill, or Big 
PENIS), and closed up shop for the *year*, leaving more than a few 
budget bills unfinished. Must be rushing home to order their Viagra 
online in time for delivery before the congressional holiday parties 
start up.
