I know a decent number of people who have That One Program that they've been using for 20 years and can't/won't leave. It probably varies by population group.
I also had (non-CS but very smart) friends who switched to (ie dual-booted) Linux on their own after seeing how much better my system was than a Windows box. A decade later, one of them is getting her PhD in veterinary pathology and still dual boots, firing Windows up only when she feels like gaming.
[1] My impression is that committed PC gamers aren't a large portion of the desktop user population, but I may be wrong.
