I don't think so. These projects are driven by Novell and perhaps were part of the motivation into signing the deal but other distributions adopting them by default has nothing whatsoever to do with the Microsoft deal. As far as Fedora is concerned however, none of these are included by default. So it is "invading" anything.

And quite ironically, even an openSUSE desktop does not use them by default.

Even more ironically, Ubuntu which has not deal with MS (to my knowledge) does.
