Windows Vista Faces Lawsuits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the expensive-view dept.

WindozeSux writes "When tech company Vista discovered the title for the new Windows Operating System version, company founder John Wall was not amused. John Wall may take this to court because he knows of how protective Microsoft is over their trademarks. From the article: 'A Microsoft spokesman said the company chose Vista from a list developed by the Windows team, based on attributes of the new software. Among its primary selling points are new tools for searching and viewing the contents of a PC; communications features; and a lighter desktop appearance with transparent objects.'"

    I hope they get into a lawsuit and lose. The name of something affects how well it cells, obviously. The Chevy Nova was a bomb in Spanish speaking countries because "nova" translates to "no go" or "doesn't go". A name is everything in economics.

    Yeah and the point of your anti-Qt flame? Was it even necessary? Did it even have any relation WHATSOEVER to the subject at hand?

    Of course not. You just wanted to flame Qt.
