US software company not happy with new Windows name.
A US software company is threatening legal action against Microsoft after the giant chose its company name as the title for its next version of Windows.
Previously codenamed Longhorn, Microsoft announced late Friday that its upcoming operating system would be called Windows Vista - something that a company based in the same town as Microsoft's headquarters, Vista Inc. was not happy about.
John Wall, CEO of Vista Inc., said the company was "considering all of its options" for a potential case against Microsoft. Wall said the naming of Windows may violate a trademark his company has and potentially create confusion over the software and services Vista provides.
