I'm Glad that MS lost this.

I was worried that they would make us change the name of the things we look through in our houses.

I think it's another distro of linux, not trying to copy MS windows. Just the name is the big deal.

I guess anything that rhymes with Windows or has more than three letters of the word in it will set off bells and whistles at Microsoft.

This is so Funny.

yeah, there's plenty of threads about lindows on this site already, it's been going for a fair time now. have a search for what people here think about it. they're currenlty engaged in a lawsuit with microsoft over trademarks

It's not just the name, lindows offers support for some of the Windows programs.

yes we know what lindows does. scary that we know how it does it tho. all it does it use an embedded version of wine, which is naff at best.
