That argument was tried by Lindows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Lindows.com....

While it looked like it'd hold up in Anglophone countries (and so Microsoft withdrew to avoid losing the trademark officially), others sided with Microsoft.

It’s not only the term "windows". Take a look at the screenshots.
