...instead of the Windows GUI that everyone else is using? If they did, would they have to pay Bill Gates a tonn of money or something?

So it is blatantly obvious what is happening on screen. So it can tell the story easier. The only reason I would see a directory using Windows would be for a horror film.

Plus I doubt computer companies would refuse the extra promotion & marketing.

I've seen a ton of films that have a Mac Book Pro as a prop with the Apple emblem on it vibrant as fuck in the shot. If that isn't good for branding then I dunno what is?
