What about chairs, tables and windows? Those are generic terms, aren't
they? AFAIK some people at Redmond think, that they can copyright (or
trademark or whatever the proper expression is) windows.
This is a very tricky field, those people at Redmond probably will not
engage 1 lawyer, but 4 or more when they want to solve any problem in
this regard. Also, there are different laws in different countries.
