Lindows Takes a Hit in the Netherlands

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the taking-the-business-elsewhere dept.

diersing writes "The Register has the latest on it. Resellers of the Linux distribution Lindows in the Netherlands were ordered today to stop selling the product. Amsterdam judge Rullmann agreed with Microsoft that in many ways Lindows is 'profiting from the success of Windows' by infringing on Microsoft's trademarks." This seems to be a rather common occurrence lately.

    I guess this wouldn't matter so much if only someone would have Microsoft's trademark scrapped - 'windows' can be used to describe a common feature in pretty much all modern OS's.
