I think the use of a capital together with the particular grammatical
construct used makes it clear that this use of the word `windows'
refers to a proper name rather than to the general concept of a window.
I'm surprised that anybody would be confused.

I can only agree that this is a serious issue and that maybe we
should try and do something about it (including rewriting the
above sentence, if some other formulation can be found), but that
still doesn't make the above sentence ambiguous in my book.
