Microsoft Permissions?

How long Microsoft grant one use of Linux? 30,60,73 days? After reading The Truth about Linux I'm very scared of the Linuxes OS. I don't want all I do with my computers to be owned by Microsoft as Linuxes probably has many of the Microsoft Intelectual Property inside. I don't see a sticker on it like 'Intel Inside". But it uses Internet Explore and Windows technologies. It must. How can it not? The Linuxes must log to IE to download the internets from the pipes. The Linuxes must have Windows alogorithms to read the spinner. If I reboot it after 30 days, am I still libel for infringment and accessory? Will they come after me? I don't want to get sued. I don't have enought money to pay for defense. I just want to see the internets.
