Because many businesses are wedded to software that only runs
on Windows. Quickbooks, ACT, Goldmine are good examples for
small businesses.

If _I_ was to start a software business right now, it might
be replacing those with either browser-based services or cross-
platform clients. Give users a good reason to switch and they
would - even if the purchase cost was the same, because support
from those companies is horrid.  Quickbooks is both indispensable
and a PITA for us on a weekly basis.
