I just think the name "Windows" is lousy because it is a common word. I think it should be forbidden for companies to put a copyright on common words. The same for Amiga ofcourse.
IMO "Windows" is far worse. "Amiga" happens to mean something in Spanish, but I'm sure that some other companies have names like that. To most people interested in the platform it isn't a common word.
"Windows" on the other hand could simply be taken to mean the most obvious feature of the system - movable Windows (which MacOS had before, and were called "Windows" before). IIRC Lindows were arguing that the "Windows" trademark was valid due to this.
