Lindows? No, no, no, it's Lin---s now! It's Lin--..., *sigh*, never mind...

They have changed their name, to Lindash.

Check it out. Lindash isn't much of a Windows Clone, it has its own look and feel based on Keramik, but I really feel that Lindows is just away of generating revenue (click and run) especially now that nearly every distro has an easy installer these days.

Just look how "Lindows" Has had to change it's website to l---ws.com in several European countries

I believe you mean lin---s.com

It would certainly make Microsoft think a little bit longer on some law suits if it happened to them.

Okay. It ptobably wouldn't. Ignore this post.

Good point, but brands usually do have value. That's why we have trademarks to protect brand names. See Lin---s for more information. Incidentally, this is why Mozilla's name juggling (Firefox? FIREFOX? WTF?) is kind of crazy.

Same goes for Lindows, err, I mean Lin---s.

I wonder if Linus will go to court over the Lin---s.com name.

It's a good thing you didn't bother counting the dashes first. Otherwise you would've looked silly.
