I don't know of any, but if I'm not mistaken, the first judge that has
seen this case specifically questioned if MS should have been granted a
trademark for such a common term.

Some case always has to be a first case... maybe they will get lucky and
this will be it (wouldn't that be great... the "Windows" trademark gets
revoked and a million fly by night companies pop up with 3rd rate OS
knock offs called Windows, all in the hopes of catching some of the
"idiot" market that doesn't realize it isn't MS Windows)
