Before you make that argument, could you explain why you want to make 
it?  That is, why do Linux developers hate the users who would benefit 
from this combination and want to drive them into Microsoft's arms?

Then, even if you do make it, you'll have to establish why this isn't 
ordinary fair use of an interface required to interoperate with the kernel.
