I can only see it being the case if there is an implicit assumption these people are already familiar with Windows. If we remove that assumption, I can see it going either way, but it's not even remotely "definitely more likely to confuse".
The Windows market share has wavered between 90 and 70% over the years.
I don't know that you can ignore that assumption.
