Is there a commercial X-Windows trademark user in Sweden which could challenge M$ right to the MS-Windows trademark based on prior use and this precedent ? Now that's a pie in Bill Gates' face I really would enjoy seeing.

The thing is, there *is* no "X-Windows". There is X, the X Windowing System, XFree, X-11, what-have-you, but X-Windows is a misnomer.
