People still install Windows software on their computers; among other things there are still printers and other peripherals with drivers that are only available for Windows (as insane as that may seem in this day and age). It is not just familiarity with the UI.

I've experienced this cut both ways though.

At our print studios we have one printer that works with Windows and not GNU/Linux and one where it's the other way around.
