I know I'm replying to my own post but I just had a read of this:

MS drags Linspire back to court
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/05/12/microsoft_linspire_court/

...and although there are some errors in it (like how John's got lin---s 
instead of lind---) I thought this was a brilliant quote:

"Perhaps there is another solution: one Reg reader reckons the Linux 
company should give up on Windows and call its software "Gates"."

Gold ! :P
