Microsoft might take a look at the dictionary, and a lot of other businesses might do the same. Windows, as in the name of the OS, should really be changed. If they came up with a better name that was more original, it might actually help them stop bloating their software and truly become an innovative company, rather than the 'Big Brother' watching to make sure that whenever you open a Window, it's a Microsoft one. Windowing style front ends for an operating system have been ubiquitous for many years, and the only reason MS had such a big start on the market was their outright piracy of the windowing paradigm from the Palo Alto Research folk. If it weren't for the dumpster diving and other assorted mopery and dopery that MS has engaged in for the last many years, MS would probably be long gone. Surprise!

I'm starting to think he will be successful in the US in proving that Windows should never have been granted as a trademark. lousy thing is that Lindows has already been railroaded in various parts of Europe b/c of MS's legal stick weilding and threats and limitless dolla's... good for Robertson.
