When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

margen, intervalo
Aporto definición de Navarro.
window. 1 Por motivos de precisión y claridad, evítese en español el uso metafórico de "ventana" en el sentido de margen o intervalo, cada vez más frecuente en inglés. Véase un ejemplo en --> THERAPEUTIC WINDOW. 2 En inglés es también relativamente frecuente el uso de window con otros sentidos metafóricos: • aortic window (comunicación o fístula aorticopulmonar).
Por el contexto no se aplicaría en tu caso, pero te copio lo siguiente para completar la información:
therapeutic window. [Farm.] Por motivos de precisión y claridad, evítese en español la expresión "ventana terapéutica" para referirse a la diferencia entre la concentración mínima eficaz de un fármaco y su concentración mínima tóxica, que es preferible llamar margen terapéutico, intervalo terapéutico o margen de seguridad de un medicamento.
Espero te resulte útil.
Saludos,
Ana

ventana
Ustedes sabrán mejor que uno si se trata o no de un anglicismo, pero siento que aún si fuera el caso, el concepto en inglés (o sea una posibilidad que se abre dentro de un cierto intervalo en un periodo o intervalo específico, que a veces vuelve a suceder si se trata de algo cíclico, p. ej. como el periodo de fertilidad dentro del ciclo de menstruación, una ventana que se abre y se cierre cada mes) está bien servido con esta expresión metafórica.
