Ah, gotta love Microsoft and their methods. According to this article on The Register they are holding $1.1 billion in compensation for the class plaintiffs in California, trying to get them to side with them agains their "Lindows competitor". *sigh* This is the sort of thing that some of the Microsoft evangelists so easily forget, or excuse with "I don't know what's going on, I'm just a peon."
There is another story with some of the start of this and Microsoft's objectsions to Lindows.com setting up MSFreePC.com to help Californians get their rightfully deserved piece of the anti-trust settlement pie.
