The study itself is missleading towards what was actually subject of the study. I hope the journalists stay critical towards it and say so.

A customized version of KDE 3.1.2 running on a proprietary GNU/Linux distribution was tested against Windows XP.

That KDE was running on top of a GNU system with that famous kernel, did not have a major effect on the study. Running KDE on other operating system like FreeBSD or a proprietary unix-like system would probably have given the same results.
