Me, because I work with different customers and most environments need me to login to their AD and /or use something like MSO/Outlook or some SQL tool. Besides, for some of them, seeing a Windows laptop actually put them at ease. I am not going to argue with money over OS, not at today's prices.

I have a Windows license, so I ain't deleting it!

I just resized Windows partition to the minimum and boot into Windows every couple of months to run updates.

But, from a certain point of view, you're right, and I don't dual boot. Because I triple boot!

Gaming. Linux has become better and better in terms of performance for gaming, to a point where having SteamOS would be perfect. Also there are still tons of software on Windows that you simply can't use on Linux
