You're a complete Boron :P  Applications are intrinsically tied to their
operating system.  Being able to run alien applications on emulated software
is a relatively recent thing. Plus clowns like Micro$loth would keep changing
their data format so nothing would work right for very long. Changing office
data formats, SMB authentication/format.. all sorts o' stuff.

A lot of business ran with M$ because you've got for better or worse support
you can rely on to some degree because you have to buy it, business tends to
like that sort of thing. Plus they give you the tools to lock your onsite
desktops down within a poofteenth of each other. A bit like the theory that
CISCO is not especially flash and can be expensive, but "nobody ever got
fired for buying Cisco.
