Since
launching ChoicePC, the interest and commitment to supporting choice
that we've received from all over the world has been tremendous! Linux
on the desktop continues to grow and that's a testament to the desire
for compelling alternatives in operating systems. Again, thank you for
your support! Note, we're no longer selling Lifetime Memberships or
T-shirts, but encourage you to browse this site for background and to
view supports who rallied to the cause.
Recently the
Microsoft Corporation began threatening and, in some cases, filing
lawsuits against international computer resellers for bringing choice
to computer desktops. These resellers are providing stable, secure and
affordable Linux solutions to consumers around the world. ChoicePC was
conceived by Lindows.com as a rallying point for international
resellers seeking shelter from Microsoft's tactics and for customers
worldwide who want choice to remain available for their computers.
Microsoft began this pattern of harassment towards resellers in
The Netherlands. To read an actual letter from a Dutch reseller who
was threatened, visit www.lindows.com/dutchresellers.
After ChoicePC was launched, all 500 Lifetime LindowsOS Memberships
available for The Netherlands were purchased in just a few hours! All
500 memberships for Sweden, and all 500 for France have also been
purchased. Thanks
to everyone world wide for the overwhelming support!
Unfortunately, Microsoft has not stopped their pattern of harassment
towards international resellers. In Sweden, Microsoft not only
communicated with resellers to prevent choice, but more recently
filed for and received a temporary
restraining order against
Lindows.com to prohibit the use of our corporate name, and the
name of our operating system, LindowsOS. In France, Microsoft
has filed a lawsuit
against a local French reseller and Lindows.com.
We have started to receive similar reports from countries all over the
world. As a result, ChoicePC.com has gone global, and we ask for your
support to make sure the world has choice!
At
Lindows.com, we want to ensure that the people of The Netherlands,
France, Sweden and everywhere else in the world have the opportunity to
stand up for their choice of computer operating systems. But, we need your help too!
ChoicePC.com is for anyone concerned about a lack of software options
in the computer marketplace due to Microsoft's monopolistic practices,
and exists to defend and promote choice on the PC desktop.
