Generic names lead to invisibility? You mean like "Windows", "Media Player",
"Messenger", "Word" etc.? :-D I'd rephrase that saying that they don't leave
much place for competitors without leading to confusion, which can obviously
be part of a strategy for proprietary software, but probably doesn't do any
good for free software.
