Vista confusion

So who gets to sue in the confusion between HardHats Vista and the
Vista that little company out in Redmond Washington is coming out
with?

I guess we'll see history repeat itself.

When the little company from Redmond started to use the term DHCP
for its own purposes, our hard-hatted colleagues changed the name
of their procuct to VistA, so now that the folks from VistA are
going to use the name VistA, the Hardhats will have to look for a
new name.

Just to start the discussion on that topic: how about CHCS-3 ?

How about hardhats renaming it to "NotMSVista". Preface all new products
with "NotMS". I doubt that Redmond will ever have a product that starts with
"NotMS".....

How about "Aw Hell, Let's Try Again" (AHLTA)?

Then again, if the folks in Redmond ever stooped to using Google they
would know what's already in use ...

:-) Some subversive friends of mine created t-shirts with all our
doctor's ideas of what AHLTA stood for. However, the first one
mentioned was the one you quote. Heck though. Oh, and the logo is
altered to say "HALTA".

CHCS III - Time to start making new T-shirts. Back to the Future?

I understand that the VA has trademarked VistA, but it does not show up
on the trademark search at http://www.uspto.gov. Microsoft has
trademarked "Windows Vista" (serial numbers 78676714 and 78676707).
There are many prior trademarks of Vista, and it is unlikely that
Microsoft could lay claim to the name.
