Microsoft pays Lindows 20 Million for the name

I think I need to open a company and name it Mickeypoft and re-sell a customized Linux build under the same name. I wonder if Microsoft will pay us 20 million for the name. I am simply amazed that they would do this but it is a major win for Linspire formerly Lindows. I always like to see the underdog to make out. [Techdirt]
