Lindows ruling knocks Microsoft back | |
|
||
| Time: 15:26 EST/20:26 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Microsoft's claim to the word "Windows" suffered another blow this week when a federal judge again questioned the company's assertion that the term is not generic. The judge also repeated his denial of Microsoft's request to shut down the Lindows.com site and block its owner from advertising its product. Lindows, started by Michael Robertson, the founder and former CEO of MP3.com, aims to offer an alternative to Microsoft's dominant Windows operating system by selling a new program, LindowsOS, which would allow Windows programs to run on the Linux operating system. A legal battle has been ongoing in federal court in Seattle since December, when Microsoft sued the start-up to prevent use of the Lindows name, claiming it violated Microsoft's trademarks. | ||
