well, no, i would think the reasoning is that "free windows" is becoming less and less attractive as an alternative to "free linux" :) certainly, it seems reasonable to think that out of the population of people getting these nags, a certain percentage will opt for switching to linux, rather than shell out X hundred for a genuine copy of ms windows.

I think you're reading too much into what I wrote.
Let's take this scenario. How many people do you know who have pre-built PCs? How many of those people had a Windows CD included when they bought said PC? Now, take everyone not on that list, and ask them how they would reinstall Windows, short of reimaging the whole drive.
