A Dutch judge has sided with Microsoft and has forbidden Dutch resellers to sell or promote Lindows software because Lindows is riding on Windows' fame. Lindows can't advertise in the country and the judge told Lindows to block access to its Web site to the Dutch. The decision follows the restraining order a Swedish court slapped on the upstart Lindows prohibiting from using any of its trademarks locally and a similar ruling in Finland. Microsoft has complaints against Lindows pending in France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Lindows' usually mouthy CEO Michael Robertson has yet to say a word.
