Re: Microsoft/VistA Name Confusion? Trademark Infr

Probably not. VistA is currently trademarked by a modem company, OpenVistA is trademarked by Medsphere, VistA by itself as healthcare software is up for grabs, as is VistAOffice. Interesting,a search on the USPTO website shows Windows Vista is NOT trademarked currently, but Vista Windows is by a drapery company.
Let the games begin!

Unsure if Microsoft Corp will (or already has) TM'ed "Vista Office", as a possible Product label analogous to "Office-XP". I'd pounce on it ASAP: you don't want people getting trapped by forgetting the deleted space and failing to find your stuff.

One has to wonder if Redmond is clueless enough to have not even known about VistA? Or did they make a conscious choice that it won't matter? ... or that any confusion generated may somehow work to their advantage?
In any case we will, no doubt see implemations that use the stack VistA/CacheM/MSVista and others running VistA/GT.M/Linux... Bang-for-the-buck considerations will favor the latter.
