Microsoft may be in trouble for naming its forthcoming operating system
Vista after it transpired that the name has been
registered by an American company for nearly six years.
Vista, which
operates a small business internet interchange, is actually based in Microsoft's
home town of Redmond. It was started in May 2000 by John Wall, the founder of
Wall Data and an erstwhile investor in
SCO.
"We are going to consider our options and talk to Microsoft," Wall told
The Seattle Times. Vista has not yet filed suit against the software
giant.
Microsoft announced the new name for its operating
system on Friday and said that the first beta code would be available on 3
August.
"There is no more Longhorn; it is now officially Windows Vista," said Kevin
Johnson, group vice president of Microsoft's worldwide sales, marketing and
services.
