Stupid News: Windows Vista in trouble!

nev_payne · 25-July-05, 02:10 PM

ROFL...so good to see..and the company thats looking into the claim is litterally just down the road form dear old Bill. Vista - a company founded by John Wall in 1999 is now setting up to get a claim in. Its as if Bill was leaning out of his office window with a pair of binoculars, thinking which companys' name he should pick this time.

LINKAGE HERE to The Seattle Times.

Quote:


	Wall, a well-known technology executive in the area who earlier founded Wall Data, is examining whether the name violates the trademark his company has held for six years. He plans to raise the issue with Microsoft, a company notoriously protective of its own trademarks, and may take the issue to court. "We're going to consider our options and talk to them," he said tersely.

Microsoft: "we are thinking about having anyone that opposes our regime killed"

Later Microsoft commented how "by killed we meant 'replaced'Ã‚â€¦yes"

Oh wells, I sure would love to see Bill Gates run for Pres next term though. God Bless him and all that is Microsoft.
