....which in turn allows for the formulation of laws from which we may make predictions and deduce further theorems.
science is neither strictly inductive nor deductive. for instance, all of classical geometry is derived deductively, whereas the laws of
physics are formed inductively via observation and experiment. ( of course i'm make blanketing claims on huge fields, but let's not get too pedantic. )
People are "stuck" because they have a tendency to continue to use that which they're familiar. Unfortunately, they've grown familiar with windows because countless computer labs, libraries, etc... are filled with windows machines.
