Personally i think its all about familiarity. Things are easier in the OS you're familiar with. For me i only use windows for games, everything else is a chore, because i love linux and to me linux is much easier to deal with. Equally however, a friend of mine is a die hard windows guy, even uses IE as his browser and hes a pretty competent computer guy, and while to me thats utter preposterousness to me, it works for him.
