Microsoft taking inspiration from Plasma slogan

[David Redondo]

Hi,

after many people saying that Windows 11 looks a bit similar to Plasma (which 
is not the focus of this message, please don't start discussing it in detail).
They are now using a very familiar slogan to promote Windows 11. Go to 
https://insider.windows.com/en-us/insidewindows11 and scroll down a bit. You 
will be greeted by 

Simple by default.
Powerful by choice.​

I think that's really bad for us. I fear that they can appropriate our slogan 
through their bigger reach and publicity resulting in us looking like copy 
cats every time we want to use our "Simply by default. Powerful when needed". 
I don't even want to think about what would happen if they would trademark it.

Our goal here should be to stop Microsoft from using it altogether. Please 
don't yet post on social media or on your blog and make a huge stir. We want 
to get this resolved as quickly as possible and public trouble may not help if
we can do this silently.
For this I would like to ask the board if they could reach out to Microsoft to 
try to get them stop copying our slogan.

Regards,
David
