Court: No Microsoft claims via Lindows site (News.com)

News.com reports that claims submitted through the MSfreePC site will not be recognized. "In November 2003, Microsoft asked the court to reject any claims filed via MSfreePC, saying the Lindows site violated the terms of Microsoft's settlement by using so-called digital signatures to process submissions. (Digital signatures are online validation agreements used to verify individuals' identities.) Lindows argued in response that Microsoft only opposed the site because it hoped to escape paying as much of the settlement as possible by making the claims process "arduous and time-consuming" for Californians."
