Judge OKs Microsoft Lin—s offensiveObjections dashed [The Register]

Ok so maybe Lindows does sound too much like Windows and infringes on their Trademark, and I can see why Microsoft would want to combat a company trying to directly take business away from it’s own products. But Lindash? Even complaining about Lin—- was a little harsh but Lindash. According to Microsoft “[Lindash] bears an auditive resemblance to Windows”. How? Surely that means OS X should have to change it’s name because poor little windows users might confuse it with XP.
