Lindows 4.5.x
Lindows 4.5.x
Lindows, later Linspire, was an attempt similar to Corel Linux to put desktop Linux in the hands of the consumer. With a customized KDE 3.x desktop, custom applications borderline cloning the Apple iLife suite, and a primitive "app store," it was intended to be easy to use and fully functional out of the box.

It wasn't really a legal issue, more of a $£$£ issue, MS sued them for trademark infringement then when they lost in court they offered $20M for the Lindows name.
