Yeah, I get the sentiment but for my moderately technical to highly technical friends, it's clear that gaming is the biggest thing that has kept them on Windows (either solely, or dual-booting) at home for the past ~10 years at least. It's the various multiplayer fads that really pose an issue. When an important part of your social life is trying the game of the day with a bunch of your friends, incompatibilities, delayed releases, and all of that really suck.
