Microsoft could use this in their next FUD campaign - "Linux is a cheap/pirate knock-off of our product". There have been repeated attempts to make Linux look like Windows over the last few years, and usually it's done in the name of helping Windows users transition to a new OS, but actually I'm not sure that's what it really achieves. Instead it further entrenches Microsoft's brand and UI into the minds of users, such that to the naive person "Windows" and "a computer" are the same entity.
