Huh?

Hogwash thats like saying Lindows is the same as Windows, no wait.. it's not.

How does CallVantage sound like Vonage?
Unless Vonage is trying to say Vonage stands for VOIP and that Vantage sounds too much like Vonage.

What Gives?

Great example! Lindows has nothing to do with Windows. If Microsoft filed a lawsuit, I would think that would be dumb as well. The only winners in this case will be the lawyers.

Microsoft did file a lawsuit and didn't succeed. (In the US at least. In a few other countries Lindows has to go by a different name or can't be sold at all.)

Lindows and Windows DO sound alike, whereas Vonage and CallVantage do not.

I think it is referring to AT&T buying up the domain www.callvontage.com.

If you are trying to go to www.callvonage.com and you miss type, you could possibly end up at CallVantage. AT&T bought the domain, but pulled the website behind it earlier today.
