If you have Ubuntu, why do you use Windows?

[liviubero]

Hy, there is this very interesting thread:

I thought that an opposite thread would be good.

I use Windows because:
I have to work on computers which are not mine and which have windows on them.
Having install problems on some computers (I/O Error on device hda)
I have to show sometimes people how to do things in windows and therefore I have to know how to do things in windows.
I use software which is written for windows (I know, there is wine, but not everything goes in wine...)

Games

Have to use it at work too for AutoCAD

truck driver here, I only use MS streets and trips in virtualbox win xp....unless I have an active wifi connection then I use google earth in linux.

that's the only thing i use cause i can't find a good alternative to streets and trips for linux that can run offline and wine just won't do it

I use windows(been getting better with linux though) because it just works. Ubuntu drivers/hardware support doesn't work 100% on any of my 3 computers. I have gotten most things working but there always just seems to be something that doesn't work. Where it does always on windows.

Yep, add games. I renamed by Win partition to "Wintendo" on my GRUB splash at the suggestion of another forum member. Aside from a couple apps for school, that the only thing Win gets used for.
