What Keeps You Off of Windows?

J. J. Ramsey asks: "schnell has already asked the question What's Keeping You On Windows? It seems only fair to ask the opposite question. For those of you who have elected to not use Windows, what keeps you away from it? Concerns about stability? Security? Dislike of Microsoft's business practices? Or are you simply a fan of your chosen platform and just don't care about Windows one way or the other?" Might recent events sway your decision to keep Microsoft's premier software offering off of your computer?

Re:My default Linux install is just more USEFUL by dfghjk · 2004-06-08 09:34 · Score: 1, Troll

Windows provides far greater device support (and timelier as well) and much better still/video editing tools. OS X arguably provides these tools but not the breadth of device support.

I agree that Linux useful for many things but it's not suitable as a digital photography/videography workstation. That's what keeps me on Windows.
