As Zune is not registered as a trademark by anybody to do with AROS I don't believe there would be a leg to stand on. And as the two are from totally separate technology sectors a trademark wouldn't even be a valid reason to sue.

Microsoft commonly takes terms for their own use, only dealing with the rightful owners after they get sued over it (cough - Vista - cough).

David would have to be the one to push it since he is the "owner" of Zune. This is one of the down sides of being a tiny OOS, few legal protections against corps.

The point is that I don?t think David has registered the Name as a Trademark since you have to pay for it. You also have to register in the different countries and in a certain catalogue (where you would like to use the trademark for like computers, software, tooth paste.. whatever ...), so there are quite a lot possibilities.
Personally I don?t think Microsoft is about to do anythink againts "our" Zune, even if I don?t know if they have registered the name in the software catalogue since there is no big danger of mixing-up the products. But you might ask a lawyer friend for a 100% answer.

The Zune name does indeed belong to David Le Corfec, and, as far as the web remembers, it was always called Zune.

Why, let's send them a "Cease and Desist" letter, let the net talk about it, sit back and have some fun.  That might prove to be successful, after all, in a way or another. Seriously, anyone with me?
