I didn't see it as a problem as far as a company name goes. I do know that there was a conflict with The Beatles that was resolved when Apple agreed not to go into the Music Business.
Concerning Microsoft, something I did find a concern is that they made the ".doc" extension the extension for Microsoft Word Documents. That extension should have been left a generic one for documents, and Microsoft could have come up with something like ".mwd" (Microsoft Word Document) for documents recreated on their word processor. It helps Users when the extension tells you what type of item the file is.
