Microsoft Sues Lindows!

Published by

In what in many analysts views as a severe setback, Lindows, an operating system designed to merge the better aspects of both Windows and Linux Operating Systems has been dealt a severe setback by Microsoft. Microsoft asked a court on Thursday to stop a Linux start-up from using a name the software giant contends infringes on the Windows trademark. At the core of Lindows.com is a new operating system called LindowsOSTM, a modern, affordable, easy-to-use operating system with the ability to run both Windows and Linux software. Lindows was started by Michael Robertson, founder and former CEO of the once controversial MP3.com.
