Lindows Agreeing to Change Name

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday April 7, 2004 @05:50AM from the minus-w dept.

xandroid writes "It looks like Lindows.com has thrown in the towel for the fight to keep its name: the Seattle Times reports that they 'would not continue a worldwide legal battle with Microsoft.' They will announce the new name next Wednesday, although a favorite is Lindos -- 'because it's the W that is causing all the problems'." Update: 04/07 19:37 GMT by S : This is worth clarifying - Michael Robertson is claiming "...the company will go by a different name outside the U.S. until it can win the right to use the Lindows name internationally."

You mean William Clinton, of course, since our reputation started to tank and the bubble burst while he was still in office.

It is not the Microsoft you idiot, it is the law. You Linux idiots can not omit the law. You are screwing up the Linux for your own ego.

How about not screwing up the English language?
