True.

For the most part, I never need Windows for anything.

It's just a few types of programs here and there which have still not
appeared in useful quantities on UNIX that still bother me.

CAD is another one. The UNIX stuff is either ugly or incomplete, or it
is very, very expensive. Meanwhile Windows has all kinds of simply and
decent CAD tools that are fairly cheap. Same for photo editing (The Gimp
isn't there yet), and other areas.

Well, and games. Being unhealthily addicted to "Rome: Total War" right
now, I still boot Windows a lot.
