The Register publishes a statement from Lindows CEO Michael Robertson: ”
Another critical fact that clearly illuminates Microsoft’s true motivations is that over the last 10 years Microsoft has never filed a lawsuit similar to the one they filed against Lindows.com in spite of the fact that there are hundreds of products which use the term “windows”. Our users helped us identify hundreds of products which use or incorporate the term ‘windows,’ These products run on a variety of operating systems (including Linux and Macintosh). Some are actually operating systems themselves. There are commercial products, shareware, freeware, open source, and even hardware products.”
