I use Windows because the Autodesk Software I get paid to use only runs on Windows.

I use Windows because the Eurosport TV Channel I paid for only runs on Silverlight on Windows.

I know these are choices *I* made but just saying, it's not always just "I can't be bothered to switch". I run FreeBSD and Plan 9 on the computers I don't need Win software on so it's not like it's even a hard switch for me.
