Microsoft For Forced Payment Of Unused Operating Systems”
“On Monday, February 15, 1999, computer users worldwide will
unite to host peaceful demonstrations against Microsoft Corporation
in Silicon Valley, New York, Los Angeles, Japan, France, New
Zealand, Belgium and The Netherlands. The Linux community,
representing all computer users who have been forced to purchase
Microsoft Windows software, will be demanding refunds for the
unused operating systems they inadvertently and unwillingly paid
for when they purchased their personal computers.”
