I think you may misunderstand what I was getting at; I meant, literally, "Windows(tm)" -- the trademark, itself. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with losing their premier trademark; off-hand, I guess it won't be that bad for them -- it didn't hurt Intel a whole heck of a lot when the courts finally ruled in AMD's favor that numbers (eg. '486) couldn't be trademarked, and thus we were blessed with the Pentium et. al. It'll still be fun to watch their marketing department squirm. -Ken > On 18 Mar 2002 at 9:13, Ken D'Ambrosio wrote: > > > I know that most everyone here has likely already read the Slashdot > > story posted on Friday(?), but this page is filled with some really > > juicy quotes.
