jimdunn Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 The article says: Linspire promises never to use the Lin---ws word ever again in its branding which we all know is unfair, unjust, and an example of MS using its huge corporate muscle to trample challengers etc... etc... etc... But you know what made me smile ??? Type http://www.lindows.com in your browser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 i would say that Lindows made a big slam dunk on this one. HMM we don't have to sell anything and M$ gives us 20ml. We just have to stop using a name that sounds like that bug ridden OS. How could Linspire loose out? They get a 20ml paycheck and a shiny new name. Man I would love to be at that party.

SwiftDeath Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Yeah, nice fair trade! Hmm I beleice I saw a distro called Mandows. I wonder if they'll go after that next. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I agree that Lindows (Linspire) scored big here. I still haven't decided on whether or not I like the concept behind what they are doing, but that's a discussion for another time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
