The real reason (Score 1)

If you want the truth it is quite simple, there are many programs and products that are married to Microsoft and will never go with linux, also one thing I consider absurd but it is true is that there are so many programs and modules available for Linux that most average guys feel overwhelmed with the choices and possibilities, they go to windows where only one choice is offered they feel happy they dont have to make each decision for each software they want to use.
