Actually, in a way yes. A crossfade is probably the most widely known way
in which a DJ could transition between two songs. I expect my mom even
knows what a crossfade is...

Yup, I'm sure it was intended as such and my comments weren't meant to
deny/diminish your perspective.
If the point you were making was that you thought Microsoft could take
offence and decide to sue, I was simply stating that I hold a different
opinion.
The generic term "crossfade" predates Microsofts trademarking of a similar
but different also generic term "crossfade*R*". I once started a trademark
filing and have done court filings, but that's not relevant, it doesn't
really matter what you or I think, it would be up to a judge in the
appropriate jurisdiction (Germany/EU/USA) to decide both if the use of one
term infringes on the other and to the extent to which damage is done, if
at all; that assuming Microsoft thought it worth their time to pursue.
