Lindows? Nope. Linspire.
p2pnet.net News:- It’s April 14 and as promised, Lindows chief Mike Robertson has announced the new name for his OS.
It’s Linspire and you’ll find it at http://www.linspire.com/, although the new site still proudly displays the old Lindows logo and blurb.
Robertson has been engaged in a two-year running international battle with Microsoft over his use of Lindows for his desktop Linux operating system.
Microsoft thought it was too near its Windows and Robertson begged to differ.
“Linspire is similar in features and capabilities to LindowsOS, but will have Linspire branding throughout,” says Robertson here, going on that the case between Lindows and Microsoft, “will continue in the United States.
“Microsoft has appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the case is pending a decision as to whether the Appeals Court will hear Microsoft’s appeal. The name Lindows will still be used in the United States in certain instances and as the corporate name.”
