MS drags Linspire back to court (Register)
I see your point. But I think Lindows was more of a threat than Microsoft
wishes to admit, otherwise they would have needed to file so many lawsuits
against them. It was also one more example of Microsoft's preference for
lawsuits and market control rather than innovation. I don't see how it
could have been positive exposure for them after so many losses and
settlements on other monopoly issues and on the other hand it provided
significant amounts of exposure for a tiny Linux company. I'm not sure
that the loss of the Lindows name will be a significant setback.
