Microsoft Loses Appeal To Shut Down LindowsOS

Posted by michael on from the stained-glass dept.

alphabet26 writes "LindowsOS announced yesterday that a Seattle Judge has denied Microsoft's appeal to shut them down, citing that Microsoft's own use of evidence helped determined "Windows" is a generic word. Lindows.com has posted the judge's seven page ruling on their website." Microsoft is trying get an injunction to prevent Lindows from using the name while the trial proceeds, and the judge has denied them, twice. Lindows could still lose the case in the end, though.

    Although I wouldn't mind having a PhD, if it means losing my humility and becoming an egoistic troll, then I'm quite satisfied with my place in life.
