The operating system Lindows is now known as Lin--s (Lin-dash). Lindows lost some legal batles with Windows in several countries and this name will be used to comply with the court decission.

The last loss was in Amsterdam. In USA Lindows trial (scheduled for 1st of March) was postponed.

"By removing 3 letters from our product name, Lindows.com will not be creating any confusion regarding Microsoft's supposed trademark on 'windows', and still offer choice in the marketplace," said Lindows.com CEO Michael Robertson in a statement today. "Any action from Microsoft to block Lin---s will show their true intentions are not to protect their trademark, but to eliminate competition and maintain their monopoly."
