Bad publicity, clashes trigger MS Palladium name change | |
|
||
| Time: 07:03 EST/12:03 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Microsoft has abandoned the Palladium name, in favour of the (no doubt deliberately) snooze-provoking "Next Generation Secure Computing Base." The ostensible reasons are twofold. The Palladium name is already used by another company for a product in a similar area, and since its announcement Palladium has received a lot of attention, been a centre of controversy, and been subject to what Microsoft thinks of as misdirected criticism. | ||

"Palladium name is already used by another company for a product in a similar area"
Ya, it's called a trademark. It legally prevents Microsoft from using the name. THAT is why they changed it. Sigh... |

| Microsoft should change the name to Lindows. |

It doesn't matter what they call it. It still equates to control the user whatever it takes.
And it's horsepuckies. I have to think people are too smart for this one. God I hope so. TL |
