I think the main problem people have with Microsoft copying KDE and Gnome is that Linux has low marketshare and "normal" people think that Microsoft invented these new things.

When they come to Linux, they say "Oh, it's just like Windows 7!" We geeks know it is not like that, but "normal" people don't.

So it has something to do with fairness.
