"Windows" is still a registered trademark.
Back when Microsoft sued Lindows over their supposed misuse of it, they ran into some questions about whether Windows could actually be considered a trademark, since even MS had used the term "windows" to describe their products before settling on Windows as a name. I think they "settled" the issue by just buying the "Lindows" name, leaving the actual fight over the Windows trademark unsettled.
