Hi,

Do you think you could clarify? I don't understand what you're
referring to here... perhaps the fact that the name has
'Windows' in it? It's been 10 years and MS hasn't sued yet,
and the Lindows case didn't go well for them. I certainly
didn't intend to abuse the name, and in fact I was using
Windows in a generic (windowing) sense (it's only the first
'w' that refers to the MS product :-))

Thanks,

Julian
