Another point is that most of us are heavily invested in both money and training in programs that run in Windows, which won't run under Linux or on Macs. (I guess the new Macs run Windows, but why would I pay twice the money for a Mac running Windows as a PC running it?) Sometimes there is a version of the program that does, but more often there isn't. Moving to a new OS means starting all over buying and learning programs. And there aren't nearly the number of programs available for other OS's as there are for Windows.
The same is true of working on the computer. I have learned to repair a number of problems with PC's running Windows but would be lost with a Mac.
