Upstart operating system company Lindows is hoping to deal a final death blow to the suit brought against it by Microsoft. The company said Tuesday that it has asked a judge to toss out the suit, which claims Lindows is violating Microsoft's trademark on the word "windows." Lindows also urged the judge, who's already ruled twice in its favor, to find that Microsoft's trademark is invalid because "windows" is a generic term. indows' summary judgment filing, which opens with a cartoon poking fun at the origin of the Windows name, requests that the judge dismiss once and for all Microsoft's claims and its attempts to get the site shut down.
