You call them 'windows', or 'Windows' if that word is the first one in a
sentence. Just do not attempt to sell operating system software called
by the same name.
Micro$oft does not *OWN* the word, they have a trade mark on the use of
the word to describe a particular product.
Or were you really worried that using Windex on the Windows of your
house would provide a legal window of opportunity for the Windows
lawyers to win the chance to winnow your bank account...?
