No, but the logo accounts for a lot of brand recognition for Windows, as
it does for most other products.  Simple logos are easy to retain and
associate with specific products and services.  Look at McDonald's
golden arches or AOL's mysterious pyramid.  Even Disney uses logos that
are simplified versions of its most famous characters (stylized ears
instead of a complete Mickey Mouse, for example).
