Betanews schrijft dat de software nieuws site ActiveWindows door Microsoft is gedwongen zijn naam te veranderen in ActiveWin. ActiveWin opereerde al 2 jaar onder de naam ActiveWindows, maar werd pas door Microsoft aangepakt nadat het beschuldigd werd van het posten van Window Millennium screenshots:
Site administrators at ActiveWin speculated that their site may have been referred to the Microsoft legal department after a beta coordinator at Microsoft accused the site of posting screen shots of Microsoft’s Millennium beta, a charge that ActiveWin denies.[...] Initially, Microsoft lawyers demanded that ActiveWindows remove the Windows "flag" logo and change the name from "ActiveWindows" to "ActiveWin." ActiveWindows agreed to remove the trademark from the site, but continued to disagree about the name "Windows" in the site name.
Microsoft responded to the initial changes in another letter, which says, "A review of your web site confirms that Microsoft's Flag Logo has been removed. Thank you for your cooperation in making this change. We must also ask that your web site be revised to remove all prominent, trademark type references to "ACTIVEWINDOWS.""
