That pretty much sums it all up.  The reasons for sticking with Windows 
platforms are as varied as any arguments for using *nix type 
platforms.  For me and many people the trouble of installing linux as a 
primary/only OS just isn't worth it or isn't an option.  Sadly there is no 
"perfect" operating system for all needs.
