There is an actual WINDOW company called "VISTA"



I just read somewhere that Microsoft will probably change the name they chose for the new OS Windows Vista because it turned out that the name "VISTA" was already trademarked by another company from 6 years ago.

BUT CHECK THIS OUT:

There is also an actual comany that manufactures WINDOWS that's called Vista:

that's too funny

I think they actually STOLE the name from the window company. It would be too much of a coincidence otherwise.

they just thought "wtf, we're huge... this shitty window company won't be able to win anything"

The only one that may have a legit claim is the tech company. The window manufacturer does not. A trademark protects you from competing products carrying your name or companies in your field using your name. Like you can have Adobe Software and Adobe Construction and there is no trademark infringement.
