    “Please name a reason to use Windows other than your main reasons for using Windows.” That is how it comes across.

    There are many excellent reasons to use both operating systems. The space is like a Venn diagram. There is some overlap in the reasons people have for using either, and a whole bunch of others that don’t overlap. At this stage we should be moving well past identity politics and putting the emphasis on designing and building applications that run on multiple operating systems. This way people can use their chosen ecosystem and reap the benefits of their existing stack in terms of productivity. We needn’t judge.

      There are zero excellent reasons to use windows. Being forced for lack of alternatives is a legitimate reason, but far from excellent.

        I run Windows in a QEMU VM for a few things, but I’d much rather run Windows inside Linux than Linux inside Winblows.
