I had to install windows to get access to some CAD programs, but comments like this really reinforce my decision to not use it as my main OS. There are so many things that are anti-user, and extremely difficult to modify. What are some of reasons to use windows, other than for niche applications that don't work under wine?

I have not had great luck with speech recognition on Linux, but I suspect that will be solved before there's a compelling reason to use Windows other than having no other choice due to niche applications.

If it wasn't for running AAA games natively, I would happily ditch windows. The day most AAA games come out on Metal API for mac, I'll gladly switch.

If it's only AAA games, you should be able to get by on Linux _quite_ well these days, if that strikes your fancy better than Windows.

I actually can't remember the last game I tried that didn't work. You may want to look up the compatability of the last few you played though just to make sure your genre(s) won't get a lot worse milage than what I play.
