Wow you have no idea about trademark law.

You can't register a word that is used in the same
sector in which you want your product to be in.

example: You can't call a fruit machine "Apple", but you can call a computer system "Apple".

The windows trademark is different. It has nothing
todo with the fact that those are "normal english
words". The problem with the Windows trademark
is that "Windows" was used to describe certain
functionality on a desktop OS even before Microsoft
registered it.

Please don't use the fleecy generator too often. It
might get damaged.
