I don't think you will be affected by this code unless you run a virtualized Linux guest on a Windows host and if you do that... well, probably you already have bigger problems :p
I am quite pleased by the Microsoft announcement, from now on when an MS astroturfer will try to throw FUD at me about Linux being inferior security and quality wise compared with Microsoft solutions I can smile and point Microsoft *is* a contributor to the Linux kernel.
The same about GPL: after releasing code under GPL, it would be really embarrassing for Microsoft to call again it as being "communist", "cancer" or "Pac-Man".

You've probably seen in the news by now that Microsoft is making a pretty substantial contribution to the Linux kernel. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2009/Jul09/07-20LinuxQA.mspx
