That cuts both ways... in my case there are dozens of apps I use in Linux that aren't available for Windows (ok so mebbe 5 or 6 main ones). Some have Windows versions but are a PITA to setup and are missing a lot of the functionality that the Linux version offers.

The only reason I bother having Windows at all is because I have to check webpages and services for my Windows users.
