Lindows, Inc. Announces New Product Name: Linspire
Legal Battle to Continue for Right to Use 'Lindows' Brand in the United States
SAN DIEGO, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindows, Inc. today announced that the
company's desktop Linux operating system LindowsOS has been renamed to
Linspire. The website http://www.lindows.com has been replaced by http://www.linspire.com,
which will now be the primary site for consumers who are looking for
information, who want to purchase any Lindows, Inc. products, or are looking
for support for previously purchased software.
"We have partnerships with hard disk, motherboard, laptop and desktop
companies that want to ship our software to their worldwide market," said
Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows, Inc. "By renaming our
product, we are able to facilitate distribution of low-cost, easy-to-use
desktop Linux.
"Last week, Lindows won in French courts when Microsoft was denied a
preliminary injunction," added Robertson. "Despite our victories in the United
States and overseas, a name change is still necessary to counter Microsoft's
strategy to sue us in courts around the world. We're hoping that this puts a
halt on the international lawsuits. A Microsoft spokesperson has publicly
stated that 'We're only asking that Lindows change their name' which is what
we have done."
The two-year-old case between Lindows and Microsoft over the trademark
"windows" will continue in the United States. Microsoft has appealed to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the case is pending a decision as to
whether the Appeals Court will hear Microsoft's appeal. The name Lindows will
still be used in the United States in certain instances and as the corporate
name.
Linspire is similar in features and capabilities to LindowsOS, but will
have Linspire branding throughout. Current users of LindowsOS will not be
affected and an upgrade is not required. The my.lindows accounts of LindowsOS
users will now be available at my.linspire.com, including CD downloads,
account information, and other resources. Current Warehouse members have the
option of downloading and installing Linspire from their my.linspire account
at no cost. OEMs and resellers selling LindowsOS products may continue to ship
existing inventory. Within two weeks, the entire software line will be
available with Linspire-branded products, including Linspire Laptop Edition,
Linspire Developer Edition and Spanish-language Linspire.
The website http://www.linspire.com will offer visitors information about the
Linspire software and process purchases, while all corporate information about
Lindows, Inc. will now be available at http://www.lindowsinc.com. High-resolution
logos of Linspire are available at http://www.linspire.com/linspirelogo.
