I would think that if I set up a shop and wanted to have the word "Microsoft" as part of the shop name, there would be some rules dictating what products I could and could not sell, yes. Wether those rules are set forth in a law somewhere or Microsoft set them forth themselves, I would find it hard to believe that the law would prohibit them from doing so. Otherwise I could set up a shop, call it "Microsoft Porsgrunn" and sell machines with only Linux installed. I think Microsoft would be allowed to say "No, you can't do that". -- Lasse Vågsæther Karlsen http://usinglvkblog.blogspot.com/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP KeyID: 0x2A42A1C2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
