What's up with the name "Fiji'?

September 5, 2008 10:39 by sarnil

Not too long ago, our learned interim Attorney General, Mr. Sayed-Khaiyum put Microsoft on notice for use of the word "Fiji" in one of their product names. Microsoft immediately complied and announced that it will stop the use.

Somehow the Exadel Inc. executives completely missed the news and proceeded to name one of their new products, you guessed it,  Exadel Fiji. I hate to think what our learned AG will do about this if anything. Apparently Mr. Sayed-Khaiyum used the words "unreservedly objects" in a letter to Microsoft. That means he may not spare anyone.

In any case, Exadel Fiji as product will not have such a profile as anything from Microsoft. It's not a product which will be directly used by any average user as it's aimed at the developers to use in their software. Maybe the AG won't even hear of it.
