Windows is simply windows, or Windows ? (translation related)

In this string

#: ../plug-ins/common/web-browser.c:175 msgid "Unknown Windows error."

the „Windows” refer to plural of a window, or to the Windows operating system ?

I see that the Italian translation considered „finestre”, while the French translation considered „Windows”.

That's Windows as in Microsoft Windows, I've changed the string:
