Note: MicrosoftCorporation does NOT own this name! (Though various European courts have [disagreed|http://news.com.com/Dutch+judge+blocks+Lindows+over+trademark+issue/2100-7344_3-5151087.html].) MicrosoftCorporation tried to sue Lindows.com (now [Linspire]) over dilution of their trademark, but judges in the US said that Windows was a common term used for any windowing system and there was plenty of prior art before they came along. However, as a result of the decisions of the European courts, Lindows was forced to change its name to Linspire. |
