Y'all will love this.
First, MS ran into trouble with the name Windows NT. Seems Northern
Telecom had prior use of NT and disliked MS's use.
Then, as most of us know, Internet Explorer stepped on a trademark, and
MS had to buy their way out of that one.
And from the "3 times is a charm department" comes this:
Microsoft forgot to do its homework when it decided on the name Windows
2000 for what was originally going to be NT 5.0 (see story inside). The
name was trademarked two-and-a-half years ago by Robert Kerstein, the
former cellular CFO of McCaw Cellular Corporation, on behalf of his
Encyberpedia reference web site.
*heehee* slashdot.org has the unfolding details . . .
The one market they obviously haven't cornered over at MS is the
"learning from experience" market . . .
