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."
