SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O said on Thursday it is suing a small software company called Lindows, claiming that name infringes the trademark of the software giant's flagship Windows operating system. In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for Western Washington, Microsoft is seeking to force a name change of the Lindows software, which is a version of the Linux operating system capable of running programs made for Windows. "We're not at all asking the court to stop or prevent the company from making the product, we're simply saying it shouldn't use a name that confuses the public and infringes our trademark," Microsoft spokesman Jon Murchinson said.
