Palm Computing Accuses Microsoft of Trademark Violations in Europe nytimes.com Seems that maybe the EU is perceived as a better venue for legal battles against a certain company. Microsoft has been widely criticized for its decision to adopt Palm as a name. Microsoft originally developed its Windows CE operating system for larger clam-shaped portable devices that came with a small keyboard. Analysts said sales of those products had generally been disappointing. Earlier this year at a reporters roundtable in San Jose, Calif., Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates angrily disputed suggestions that his company was intentionally confusing the market and stealing ideas from an innovator. He said the idea was "beyond bizarre," that his company had "zero market share" in hand-held computing and that it had chosen the Palm PC name after doing original market research in which he was not involved. Right. Bill's sounding a little random here, don't you think? It's all right to send in the lawyers after random web sites with windows or nt in their name, but other people's trademarks and copyrights are worth dirt. Anyway, he wasn't involved. Cheers, Dan. P.S. I missed the thrilling conclusion of the Reuters harlem story, www5.zdnet.com Microsoft donated $8 million in software and cash to schools in 1997, according to company spokeswoman Mary Stevenson.
