Unfortunately my friend, all sort of programmers that write all sort of programs for the MS platform are the ones that are succesful and get users to stay with Windows. Take for example 2Action, a nifty Palm app that takes your notes in the Palm syncs it in the desktop to an html document and presto. I can't live with this app, which incidentally is not available in Linux. It can be argued that Linux has Office suites, Mail clients, CD burners and so on, but it's these kind of small, obscure apps that hold some users that are looking into moving to Linux, like myself, to hold and stay with MS. I've even downloaded live eval cd's from Knoppix and Suse.
My own opinion on this is that users stay or leave a platform according to the applications they have available. I know of some people that, given a choice, wouldv'e stayed with DOS 5 because of WP 5.1 (remember that?!?) Just take that into consideration.
