I think this is a good thing. "App Store" is too generic a term to trademark IMHO.

- nhangen 16y agoI agree with you. In fact, I was stunned, in reading this piece, to find out that they were able to do it in the first place.
- georgemcbay 16y agoOn the one hand, I think it is completely ridiculous that Microsoft, maker of Windows(TM) and Office(TM) is challenging Apple(TM), maker of the Macintosh(TM), over the potential trademarking of a generic term. Having said that... yeah, 'App Store' is too generic and shouldn't be trademarkable so Microsoft are in the right here... it is just that there's no innocent party here to really cheer on in this.
