Microsoft Starts Legal Fight Over Lindows Name
actappan writes: "Whether or not Lindows is real, this article on CNET News.com indicates that Microsoft intends to sue them into oblivion. Looks like supression remains the best way to promote innovation." cyberlawyer adds: "Some of you may remember that MS originally had great difficulty obtaining a trademark for the generic term 'Windows' but was eventually able to pay off those who had filed letters of protest to the granting of the mark including Sun, Oracle, and Borland. As a trademark lawyer I (unhappily) have to admit that Lindows probably has a weak case. Of course it's never too late to bring a cancellation action based on genericide ;-)" CodeWheeney contributes a link to coverage at Yahoo, too.
Should that be a big amount or a small amount of life? I mean come on! "Get some life" ?

Guess not.
And kids, what does that tell us about MS's business prospects when their employees have nothing better to do than troll Slashdot?
Stating on Slashdot that I like cheese since 1997.
I was wondering when next you'd post to Slashdot, you've been amusing me ever since I read this thread.
Keep it up, your paranoia is highly amusing.
PS: By the way, who said I work for Microsoft? It's interesting that you stalk me over the 'net but happen to ignore simple facts like the fact that I interned at MSFT and not that I work there now.
