The article's author count on the fact that most people have no experience or close-to-ignorance on historical facts and exposure to other OSes.
What the author did not actually know is that those are simply configurations of KDE and GNOME desktop. Thus, the real innovation in GNU/Linux desktops are of its configurability. I usually change the default desktop organization in Ubuntu. And, for those users who are used to Mac OSX, I placed items to closely mimic that of MAC OSX.
This kind of article reminds of the story "The boy who cried wolf!!!" MS is counting on the fact that the more you repeat a lie it somewhat becomes credible in the long time.
