I don't think this would work, since the input to a SpanRegexQuery regex is a 
single Term; following Terms are not included in the input.

I *think* you can get what you want using SpanNotQuery - something like the 
following, using your "Microsoft Windows" example:

SpanNot:
    include:
        SpanNear(in-order=true, slop=0):
            SpanTerm: "Microsoft"
            SpanTerm: "Windows"
    exclude:
        SpanNear(in-order=true, slop=0):
            SpanTerm: "Microsoft"
            SpanTerm: "Windows"
            SpanRegex: "^\\p{Lu}.*"
