New MS loses Lindows appeal
[link|http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/05/24/microsoft_lindows/|http://www.theregist...icrosoft_lindows/]

Microsoft wanted the trial to concentrate on what consumers make of the word "windows" today, while Linspire wanted a longer timeframe. The original judgement ruled that the jury should look at what the word meant to consumers when Microsoft Windows 1.0 became available in 1985. This decision will now be upheld because Microsoft's appeal was rejected.

New Will the owner of the \ufffd on the word, *innovation*
please step up to the plate?

Your Honor, the defendant has raped, defiled, mutilated my client into illegibility. We ask punitive damages and also a restraining order and assessment of future damages: utterance of this word by defendant(s) within earshot of any listener, to entail a fine of $10,000 USD / event.
New Not "per event"
That gives them leeway to use it many times at a "marketing" event. Better would be "per utterance/per listener".
