Just an interesting list of what Microsoft holds trademarks for. ActiveSync and Windows Mobile are listed but Pocket PC, Smartphone and Windows CE are not. And where is "Connection Manager?" :wink:
Hmmmm.... I am not finding "Bob" either. That one must have expired recently. :lol: Let's see, what else. Oh, good. There is is: "Iskoola Pota." Wanted to make sure they had that one covered. Heh - Tax Saver. That'll come in handy one of these days when they try to defend all of the brand recognition that one time 2001 program generated.
Office is interesting. Outlook, PowerPoint and Visio are there, Word, Excel and Access aren't. I know those last three are common words in the English language, but so are Outlook and Windows.
