Windows is useful for me as there are times when you need to diagnose a problem with something and it's so much easier in Win, thanks to everything being designed and instructions written for it.

It also has the only decent money management software that I have found (MS Money), MS Word is a good word processor - better than StarOffice or kOffice or anything on Linux I've found.

It's also easier if you want to play with something. You any idea how long it took me to get Quake running in Linux? Hours. How long in Windows? The time to download the program and run the .exe file.

That's some reasons. There are more but this keyboard is pants...

Fairy nuff. I play games on my PS2 and don't use word processors. In fact, I spent much of Sunday trying to wrestle Word into submission on my father's XP machine and decided that while there has been improvement since the last version I used regularly, it still sucks majorly. LaTeX is the way forward. :-)
