Comments on: Microsoft, Lindows face off in Dutch court

Microsoft is demanding the open-source software company be hit with a fine in excess of $100,000 per day for allegedly infringing on the Windows trademark.

Trademark??????

It seems blatantly obvious that Microsoft has no legitimate claim
to 'Windows' and a trademark. Virtually every OS has windows,
some much better that what MS provides. MS might make a case
for 'Microsoft Windows', but that doesn't provide a reason to go
after Lindows.

Once more the 800 pound gorilla assumes that it has the weight
to redefine law.

Guess the bully doesn't like it either

Microsoft steals from Apple and wins. I am curious to see the outcome here. By the way, does Microsoft own the name to the square pieces of glass in my house called "windows". Maybe the building/carpenter(s) industry should sue microsoft for using the term "windows".
