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.

    You mean Winsux? Thats why they wouldn't retaliate in that manner, plus the fact that they don't exactly stick to *nix standards... hell they can barely stick to any standards.

    What a great day to have my Gates bashing Sig on.

    I love this type of revisionist history.....Bill Gates is responsible for the PC revolution, without MS, NONE of this could possibly have happened. No other company could possibly have done this because nobody else is smart enough. Al Gore is the inventor of the internet.

    You just arn't looking in the correct place for your information....try Encarta next time!
