01.30.2004 - Dutch Citizens Denied the Choice of Desktop Linux

SAN DIEGO and AMSTERDAM January 30, 2004 -- A judge in the Netherlands today granted Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) a preliminary injunction against desktop Linux vendor Lindows.com Inc., a decision Lindows.com plans to appeal. The ruling will deny the Netherlands the cost-savings that desktop Linux currently offers to approximately 18 million people worldwide, leaving vulnerable and expensive Microsoft software as the only option for computer consumers in the Netherlands. - View Press Release - Visit ChoicePC - Visit Lindows.com, Inc.
