dougbinks, (edited ) I've been using Linux since it was first practically available (early 90's), UNIX before that, a variety of other OSs including UNIX derived NeXTSTEP, and I can genuinely say that Windows has many advantages and continues to do so.
Whilst part of the advantage comes from being the primary OS (for games, 96.76% market share on Steam), some comes from its feature set.
Most programs which work continue to do so (I have a 25 year old game I made, for which the installer and game still work).
