I see it the exact opposite way. If Microsoft is claiming that they've owned the term "windows" since 1983, then they've allowed it to slip unchallenged into the public lexicon for 20 years. "windows" is a general term that even my grandmother knows when I'm helping her send email. If I say to her "what do you see at the top of the window", she knows right away what I'm talking about. If I say "are you running Windows on that machine", she doesn't necessarily get it.
