Lindows Takes a Hit in the Netherlands

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.

    In a country with so few and lose laws Microsoft still manages to pull off a win. I wonder if the Netherlands received any money from Microsoft hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    You still fall into the anonymous cowards are worthless bit. Oh and show me where Apple used it before Microsoft, and show me where Xerox used it before Microsoft, lets see previous art or proof, don't just tell me you watched Pirates of Silicon Valley and believed everything. First of all, when apple was developing a GUI they had hired Microsoft to do it for them. And Xerox never called them windows, because they were more interested in the mouse technology then the software that drove it.
