I'm disappointed as well. MSFT chose a common term to use as their
OS trademark and they deserve no protection for it. I think it would
have been rather humorous to watch MS scramble to change the names
of their product lines.

OTOH I'm not really disappointed with Lin{dows,spire} they lost the
trademark case outside of the USA and supporting multiple names for
the same product line is silly and confusing for consumers.

I've never really been impressed with Lindows technically, morally
or otherwise, so I guess it's easy not to be disappointed when you
have low expectations.
