Gates Overreach?
This is amusing. Microsoft has sued Lindows (a windows emulator that runs in Linux) for trademark infringement, claiming that consumers will be "confused" about the name, and might think that it's a Bellevue product (hmmmm...just shows you what Microsoft thinks about the average computer user's intelligence...)
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), they may end up losing their own trademark over the issue, since Microsoft argued themselves in their case against Apple that "windows" was a generic industry term, and that no company had a claim on it...
