UPDATE 13:24 GMT A reader says that the reseller appears to be no longer under any kind of threat, and forwards this reference which says MS will leave the Lindows reseller alone. Here.

MICHAEL ROBERTSON at lindows.com has published an email from a Dutch reseller which appears to indicate that Microsoft is preparing a court action against the alternative OS here in Europe.

According to the correspondence, reseller DV Computer Systems, which sells PCs with Lindows, had a phone call from Microsoft. He said in the email that Microsoft is preparing a trial in The Netherlands, and wants him to stop reselling Lindows.

Robertson replied that even though it is the Thanksgiving Holiday in the US, he is prepared to drop everything and go to the country to see what it's all about.

There's more on this at the Lindows site, here.
