First Vista, now Zune: Microsoft leaching Amiga names
« on: July 22, 2006, 06:25:29 AM »
I just read that the new Microsoft "iPod killer" is to be named "Zune" - which happens to be the name of the AROS version of MUI. This comes after hearing that the next version of Windows is to be called "Vista" (name of Amiga 3D landscape program). It's so tragic thinking that these names are about to be poisoned forever by association with Microsoft. Even Wikipedia has been changed to say Zune is a new Microsoft device instead of the AROS MUI info it had before.

What's next - a new MS tool called "Workbench" and a new Xbox called "Amiga"?

I get really tired of the constant hack on Microsoft thing here. If Zune wasn't properly registered then I don't see how they have a right to the name.


My point is not to say that it is illegal or wrong. My point is that I'm sad that these words will now be forever associated with the products of a company I hate. (...like how people with last name "Hitler" became forever associated with Adolph)
