I think there's a difference between that MS wants to prohobit the use of Windows and that Apple wants to prohibit the use of Apple in fields where it can yield confusion.
If a company calls itself "A", and another company later takes the name "A telecom", it might be an issue if the fields they operate in is the same (e.g computers). Why cant they just be original when they choose a name, and not try to piggyback on other companies' success?
And when that is said; maybe its Apple's own fault for choosing such a "generic" name...

All these have been released, so my guess is that Wired's VaporWare awards is all but authorative?

Will the same happen to Microsoft as they ship more and more "secure" (whether the increased security is for them or the user) OSs?
