This ruling is quite correct. I am no Microsoft fan but the Lindows name was clearly intended to play off the Windows name.
It is my theory that Lindows purposefully chose this name to get the publicity it is getting now. Other attacks at Microsoft (such as the Lindows offer for Californian residents based on the anti-trust settlement) play into this.
Well Sun's Java Desktop is based on SuSE Linux, SuSE will shortly be owned by Novell, Novell owns Ximian, Ximian created Evolution. Therefore Sun is supporting Evolution.:)
I would like to know if any retailer actually splits Windows from a laptop when a customer requests it and then installs THAT version onto a desktop machine for someone else. Is such a thing even legal (I assume it would be)?

Are you honestly saying that you didn't know I was referring to Microsoft Windows?
