The issue is about privacy. I don't want some third party server to know everytime, that I have booted into linux. Anything that goes out of my system should do so with my consent. :) I am quite happy with my local time. In windows I can control what goes out due to the firewall but in linux thats not possible as firewalls are for incoming protection only.
I guess, I didnt get you properly. But if you are afraid of getting detected as linux box on network , try to play around with iptables. Or even better you can try " ippersonality " .
