Lindows on PR Offensive against MS Trademark Suit
Posted by Ernest Miller on Monday, February 18 @ 08:31:05 EST Trademark
Lindows which, like Wine, will offer Linux users the ability to run MS Windows software, was challenged by Microsoft in December for trademark infringement. The CEO of Lindows, Michael Robertson (and founder of MP3.com), has published a response to the Windows lawsuit, which you can also read on The Register (Lindows CEO delivers broadside in MS trademark dispute). The Net2 website also has some of the legal documents on the case (Update on Microsoft Legal Dispute). C|Net News carries a story about the latest moves in the case (Lindows asserts its individuality). Favorite quote from Lindows Vice President of Marketing, John Bromhead, "There's a strong chance that Microsoft may lose its trademark on Windows."
