Can your Credit Union lend out the money it has on deposit 9 times over because it can access the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window and if it gets over-extended go running to the FDIC for a bail-out?

Credit Unions are insured by the FDIC same as banks. And before that, they were insured by the FSLIC, which did not turn out well for taxpayers.

And that funding is based on who is enrolled, not who shows up for class each day.

Is that how it works in Florida? In other states, funding is based on Average Daily Attendance. If you have 5000 students "enrolled" but only half show up every day, you only get funded for 2500 students.

I don't believe Windows is trademarked. Isn't the trademark the full term "Microsoft Windows"?

No. That is often repeated but is untrue. You can search the trademark database at uspto.gov. Microsoft has several trademarks of just "Windows". (And so do several other companies, in different fields).
