Not to mention proper names and recognition of trademark.

Microsoft
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows Vista Basic Edition
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

etc.

IINM all of these are registered with the trademark office,
with the exception of Microsoft proper, which is probably
registered in a Seattle office as a business name/entity.

(For its part Linux is trademarked by Linus Torvalds.
Presumably it's a defensive move to avoid certain
silliness.  Microsoft has aggressively defended its
trademarks as well, as evidenced in the recent case
involving MikeRoweSoft.com or some such.)
