The war of words between Lindows.com and Microsoft last week escalated as the two companies disputed Lindows.coms efforts to process consumers claims in a $1.1 billion California class action lawsuit settlement. Lindows.com, in a letter released last week, vowed to fight any legal action taken by Microsoft to force the company to take down its MSfreePC.com Web site, which was launched two weeks ago.
A Microsoft official declined to say whether the company has taken or plans to take legal action.
