Lindows becomes Lindash

Posted by michael on Tuesday February 17, 2004 @08:25AM from the at-least-it-isn't-linfire dept.

Daveh writes "The Register is reporting that 'The operating system Lindows is now available as Lin---s (pronounced: Lin-dash) in those countries where Microsoft has blocked the availability of the desktop Linux distribution. The new name complies with a recent Amsterdam court ruling (PDF), the San Diego company says.' There are a few new sites to reflect the name change, including Lin---s.com and Lindash.nl."

My company, Macrohard is currently developing a new OS, to be called Doors. Macrohard Doors is obviously a superior OS to Microsoft Windows. I mean, look at it from a security standpoint alone.
