Hint:  Linux is over 10 years old, and FireFox just came out.  What did Linux
do before FF 1.0 shipped? ;)

Linux integration:  Tools register themselves as optional add-ons to add new
or extended functionality.  If the tool isn't there, all that happens is the
menu items *for that added function* end up greyed out or don't show up,
or simply Nothing Interesting Happens when you click on the object.

Microsoft integration: You remove the application that plays MPEG movies
from a system that has never needed to play MPEG movies, and never will need
to - and your system won't boot anymore.
