My understanding is that it has to be used as "Microsoft Windows", all
together. Windows exist independently of Microsoft (whether or not their
employees ever look out of one). At least, that's the procedure we used
when I used to work there not too long ago.

-----Original Message-----
"Maximize" and "minimize" are definitely public domain
words. However, I wouldn't go so far as a general statement
about the difficulties Microsoft would have trademarking
an ordinary term - they managed to trademark "Windows,"
didn't they?
