Video game library is a fair point. I use W7 in a VM for that, though I find myself playing games less and less nowadays. I guess it's that I don't do GUI programming. I mostly produce software that does things directly (rather than enabling others to do things). I fundamentally have very little use for a GUI unless I were producing software for someone else to use (e.g. QuickBooks or something). I think that's probably the barrier in both directions. GUI users don't usually see eye to eye with terminal users. It's vi-vs-emacs all over again. :P
