It's interesting to see the tables turned; I remember back when Microsoft was all too eager to sue a home improvement company for having a website name with the word "windows" despite the company owning the trademark long before Bill Gates bought and re-released DOS.
But really, "Windows" 8 isn't an apt name anymore (not that "Metro" ever was). I think they should call it "Tiles" instead. That way it's more relevant to the product, and still gives them the opportunity to sue home improvement companies.
