Google employees might end up buying these. Last time MSFT did the campaign with the slimy Google Docs salesman guy with a tie with Google logo colors, Google employees got the ties made and started wearing them internally.
The best way to deal with this kind of tasteless campaigning is with humor not anger. My guess is whoever runs these campaigns is separate from the product and engineering people, and Microsoft needs to realize it is doing more damage to its brand than Google.
