  1. Re:Retard /. Law Commentators on Excel Registered as Trademark, 19 Years Late · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Looks like they forgot to put the postage on a *lot* of cease and desist letters. Go here: http://www.ozgrid.com/Services/ExcelAdd-insPage.ht m (there's a page 2 and 3, as well) to see a slew of spreadsheet products from lots of different companies with Excel or XL in their name. And then check out Microsoft's own site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/defa ult.aspx under "Analysis Tools" to see no less than 15 different products from other companies with Excel in their name. Microsoft actually encourages you to get these other products by advertising them on their site. Seems like a pretty big problem to me.
