August 3, 201213 yr Author Hello It is a big blow to a product that already looks like it may struggle to be accepted on the desktop With the product already shipping to PC makers and general release only weeks away, MS now have to scrap all the promotional material and start again. Apple at least have the sense to use animal names, and fast ones at that. Can't trademark a big cat.
August 3, 201213 yr They should go back to naming the software after places in Canada, That never got them in trouble before. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

August 5, 201213 yr ? It was a joke but Windows 7 was code name Blackcomb which is in Whistler, British Columbia, They have also used Yukon and Jasper for Canadian codenames They have also used some USA cities and European cities, some countries (Tahiti) and some Asian cities for codenames. Metro was a first but a trademark so that doesn't work. Names of places has not got them into trouble before so best to keep up that tradition. I can understand why they used Metro as they have used city names many times before in development, so that kind of makes it a collaboration of sorts for a name to be used on a published software.

August 5, 201213 yr Author Hello This whole fiasco will cost MS and its partners a huge amount of money. Weeks away from release, all of the advertising footage will have been finalised and probably shot, point of sale merchandising and advertising materials already made and ready to go at retailers around the world. How did they not discover this issue earlier ?
