These two (Windows 2000, Windows XP) are actually not trademarks
according to Microsoft [1].  Though "Windows" it itself is a
trademark, so "Windows 2000" should be written "Windows(r) 2000" and
not "Windows 2000(r)".

To make it a bit more confusing "Windows NT" is in fact a registered
trademark, so that should be written as "Windows NT(r)".

I think we should just change the entities you have added to print it
the correct way, so people can use the entities in the future and not
having to think about which parts are actually trademarks.
