When they show computers in movies, why do they always show some crappy custom
 
interface.

...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?

Licenses for trademarks, royalties, etc.

Referred to as greeking. Something porn companies really should consider.

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?
