MS was succesful in stopping Lindows for product name confusion and Lindows had to change its name to Linspire. Monta Vista Linux, a wellknown name in embedded Linux, uses the domain name mvista.com. It will be fun, some time in the near future, with MS midway through an expensive marketing campaign for its next-gen Windows, will have to change the name due to a court case on product name confusion.

Trademarked name conflicts only occur if they occupy the same "domain", that is to say they do the same type of business. A window manufaturer and a software company are totally different. -BKN Back to top Eric Grange Guest Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 7:59 am    Post subject: Re: Longhorn = Windows Vista www.vista.com is a software company, they are already suing MS.

I wouldn't be so sure, given the success with which Intel has been suing everyone with an "Inside" or "Intel" in their company names, logos or mottos, I would be worried if MS took over the "Vista" and I had it in my company name/logo. Another example of similar conventional-wisdom-breaching suing success would be the "Milka" brand. Eric Back to top J.

The argument was basically to prevent someone from FOIA'ing the software we developed, the exact data structures we have, the publicly available information in it, and turn around and re-sell it. -Brion Back to top Iman L Crawford Guest Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2005 7:54 pm    Post subject: Re: Longhorn = Windows Vista "J.
