So are Lindows and Windows; there is no need for them to be identical.
This isn't how the Lindows vs Windows went down anyhow. Microsoft lost that case, and then basically paid them to change the name to Linspire.
"In 2002
Microsoft sued Lindows, Inc. claiming the name
Lindows constituted an infringement of their
Windows trademark. Microsoft's claims were rejected by the court, which asserted that Microsoft had used the term
windows to describe graphical user interfaces before the Windows product was ever released, and that the windowing technique had already been implemented by
Xerox and
Apple Computer many years before.
[7] Microsoft sought a retrial and after this was postponed in February 2004,
[8] offered to settle the case. As part of the licensing settlement, Microsoft paid an estimated $20 million, and Lindows, Inc. transferred the
Lindows trademark to Microsoft and changed its name to Linspire, Inc.
