If you look at Scott Culp's twitty article:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/columns/security/noarch.asp
in paragraph 3 he acknowledges the Windows and Solaris trademarks, but not
the Linux trademark. AFAIK that makes it a trademark infringement - as
others get acknowledges and Linux pointedly does not. It implies that
Linux is not a trademark but a generic term - and if you start allowing
that you can loose your trademark I think.
