Intentionally put out inferior versions of Windows packages and blame Linux for the inferiority.
Break other things ("Yeah...you have to install this as root...") and blame Linux for the breakage.
I'm sorry, but what sane person would trust software from the home of "DOS isn't done till Lotus won't run" and the bogus "you're not running Windows atop MS-DOS, so we can't guarantee it will work" popup? At the very least, it would have to be open source, and even then I'd want an independent group to go over every single line before I'd even let it anywhere near my computer.
