Windows Vista Faces Lawsuits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday July 23, 2005 @04:39PM 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.'"

OK, so why is it OK for Apple to release Tiger when Tigerdirect had the name first but it's not OK for MS to do the same thing?

Consistency, people.
