I see this argument again and again, but I would imagine most people reading this have separate work and home computers?

For the average home user I can see gaming - while hugely improved in recent years - could still be a showstopper.

But surely for the average user Libreoffice or online versions of MS Office will suffice? Surely there cannot be _that_ many average PC users that need the full power of Photoshop?

Of course I expect the average HN user to be quite different from the average user in general, but I really do think that many casual users get no advantages from Windows apart from familiarity.
