Lindows in need of a new name

After being forced to stop selling Lindows in the Netherlands earlier in the week, Lindows CEO Michael Robertson is now asking his users to come up with a possible temporary name that could be used in order to satisfy the courts.

[blockquote]In his latest 'Michael's Minutes', Robertson goes on to say "We're looking for a strategy which would allow us to continue to operate in impacted countries. This may mean that Lindows needs a temporary alternative name in isolated locations. It's tremendously disruptive to a business to change a name or add an alias, but it may be the only way in the short-term that we can operate in certain places."[/blockquote]

    Or XOS, if they were to bundle Crossover Office with it instead of offering it as an option. Crossover Office does something wierd, ever seen Microsoft Office directly run on Linux, or IE 6, or OE, or Quicken-- or all at once, each on its own desktop???? (I like my KDE 3.2 with 6 desktops, thank you very much-- default of four is not enough).

    Yes, there are ways to have most of the apple pie (about 85% of it is enough for most folks) on a *nix underlying structure.
