FWIW, I vote against just "windows" because of possible confusion with other
meanings of "window". Yes, I understand that the context probably dispels
confusion here. Still, it's a good idea to avoid it consistently (and to
facilitate searching etc.).
"ms-windows" is pretty clear. But if you also sometimes need something shorter
and not 32/64-specific as a replacement for "w32", try "msw" or some such.
Whatever you choose, please use it consistently throughout Emacs.
