"Windows" No Longer In Public Domain"

I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you today. You are going to have to come up with another word to describe the holes in the walls of your house that you have always used the word "windows" to refer to. Microsoft has just announced that it has secured a copyright on the words "window" and "windows" after a lengthy legal battle that cost it four years and approximately $4 billion dollars. At first the US Office Copyright Office was only going to issue the bully boys of Redmond a copyright on uppercase "Window" and "Windows," but the Microsoft mouthpieces eventually prevailed, and now both upper and lower case versions of the commonly used terms are copyrighted!

The objects in my house formerly known as windows henceforth will be known as "portals to the outside world." I'll bet my readers can come up with something even catchier. The question now for me is, will the zealous guardians of the Microsoft reputation (after the Windows Vista decacle which seems to have been a long-running news story of the past decade, you'd think Microsoft's reputation has been permanently trashed!!)find this article and threaten me with a huge lawsuit if I don't remove this posting?? If this post disappears from my blog, you will know that's what happened!!
