I just read that M$ filed a motion in court to stop the Startup Linux company from using Lindows for their name. They Claim that consumers will confuse the 2 and that it is a copyright infringement. Im sure that the filing of this complaint has nothing to do with the fact that this new planned release of Linux is going to use the "wine" project, witch is an open source project that mimics commands that windows programs use.

Well I guess if you cant make a better OS than the competition,sue them and drain all their capital before they can get their project off the ground...

Yeah, I read that and thought that it was funnier than hell!!!

You've got to be a freakin moron to confuse Lindows with Windows... L W HHHhhhnmmmmmmm, that's a tough one...

Well Microsoft, here's the worlds SMALLEST violin playing just for your sorry arse's!!!

I can definately say this though, if it works I'm more than happy to change to it and abandon Windows ENTIRELY!!!!
