As there is absolutely no threat of a lawsuit from anyone on Microsoft's side of things, it seems to be Ubuntu is using this as an appeal to Linux fan boys most of whome are traditionally against Ubuntu's casual approach to security, and, well, general ease of useness.

At the same time, their outright refusal to work with Microsoft at all seems to tell me that the single best chance of a USEABLE Linux Desktop alternative is willing to pander to it's extremist roots rather then trying to make things more usable for the average user.
