I suspect the justice department would be very interested if Microsoft endorsed your interpretation, since, IIRC, they argued exactly the opposite when accused of engaging in anti-competitive practices, to wit, requiring OEMs to sell their operating system with each and every computer. I suspect the wording in the license was added to specifically disclaim exactly the interpretation you are proposing.
