Windows Refund Day II: Next Steps (Linux Journal) [LWN.net]

Linux Journal takes a look at what happened during Windows Refund Day II -- and what still needs to happen. "[Toshiba] will spend thousands of dollars in legal fees to protect the hundreds that would be paid out for this individual refund request. Does anyone honestly think that they would continue to follow this path if only 10 additional customers filed similar actions? Personally, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect at least one case to be filed against a major computer manufacturer in every state of the US. Multiple concurrent claims (regardless of which manufacturer is targeted) will open their eyes to the magnitude of this situation. This is the logical course of action for us to take in order to achieve the change we are seeking."

Is this a class action suit?

Decompile, use patent technology freely?

I can't help but wonder if the suit should ask for freedom from the license. It seems that MS and the manufacturers are not living up to their end of the bargain, we shouldn't be restricted.
