Hi :)
Gary you don't seem like someone that is qualified to give legal advice such as
that. I'm not sure you would accept responsibility and pay costs if your advice
if damages were incurred as a result of taking your legal advice. Sadly we do
not live in a simplistic children's story book.

Microsoft makes its money from selling products--not suing people.
Besides, the desktop computer will become a relic for most users within
five or ten years--probably already, to a degree. Even the laptops will
go the same route.
Microsoft has bigger fish to fry in evolving its business model in order
to remain competitive than to worry about trifles like screenshots of
its (unsupported, even...) XP silver GUI employed in documents. The
legalese you refer to is simply the routine boilerplate wording that
virtually all developers and others employ on their copyright pages. I
am bemused (and Jean and others probably too) that time and effort was
spent needlessly on changing the former screenshots.
