The ability to run a majority of the software available today... Priceless.
Sorry, not to sound trollish, but that really is the problem with the alternatives (Mac and Linux)The do not easily run a lot of software.
I have played around with Ubuntu and it is very pretty. I tried to install some software (VMWare player for example.) and it failed with one of those wonderfully geeky error messages that would tell leave a normal user stranded. So what was an easy install on Windows turned into a several hour pain in the butt on Ubuntu. I have not tried a Mac yet, my cool friends say it is awsome.
