Iindows was renamed to linspire after an out of court settelment where M$ paid $400M (or some such small change) to lindows. Prior to the settelment Lindows was barred from doing bussiness in one of the European countries. Lindows appealed both in US and the Eur country. As usual M$ had very persuasive $$ args and convinced Lindows about the conspirational name Linspire.
