OK, time to think up some rude names.

Dimdows Vista = Dimsta (sounds like "Dim Star")

or

Dumbdows Vista = Dumbsta (sounds like "Dumb Star" or "Dumpster")

Absolutely Vistalicious, don't you think!

Pretty sure we get betas here, but will have to wait for the next mailout
from Microsoft before I know.

Realistically this will be a non-event. The other company's product is
probably not called "Microsoft Windows Vista" so it is unlikely that there's
a trademark issue. In the unlikely event that a trademark infringement is
determined to exist Microsoft will simply buy the rights to the name and the
company involved would stand to make several year's revenue in one fell
swoop. Don't hold your breath for a name change.

I think this is why the company is sueing now. At present they can show
MS's name is new, its purely marketing hype and there is no substantial
reason to allow them to keep it.

Should be interesting to watch.
