good!
as much as i hate the way MS does it's business i think thi swas the right call. Lindows in no way was concerned with the customer well being. They just were trying to screw MS and steal customers. (although the former is a semi-noble purpose *heh*).
What they should have done was ot use the site to get people's attention and help them throught he proper paper work, rather than their shortcut metheod with offers of free deals for their own product.
