You have missed the point. People on this thread that did move to Ubuntu a few years ago found it far better than the naysayers would have them believe - smooth install, better GUI, more useful software with a repository. They haven't had to look back or 'need' this new Windows thing you use and they don't cling on to legacy Windows programs. So Windows now able to open files without having to install arcane plugins first is a bit 'meh' to those that can't be bothered with Windows cruft any more.
