Every once in a while I find myself trying out a new distro or revisiting old ones that I've used before. Point is, I always come back to Windows and I really don't know why. Old habits die hard I guess.
The thing is, I THINK I prefer Linux, however, I can't bring myself to use it for a long stretch of time. There's always some game or application that pulls me back to Windows for a while. Overall I like both, the ease of use of Windows and the potencial and OSS in Linux.
The Linux world keeps resisting the introduction of a standardized API because they assert they aren't needed. Certainly with Steam putting out a platform exclusively for Linux they seem to have a point. But the gaming industry is sufficiently invested in programming for the Windows API that they don't seem interested in changing any time soon.

To each his own. Don't need a reason - if that's what you prefer, then that's what you prefer :)

I think that's true for a lot of people (the one application keeping them with Windows) - especially for games.
