Very simple. while Win 7 may have everything _you_ need, it does not
nearly have everything other people need. Admittedly, these other
people will typically come from the higher parts of the IT competence
spectrum. I use Win 7 for two things: Gaming and putty to my Linux 
servers, and the later only when I am gaming. I also find that Win 7 
is nearly stable today. Only 4 hard crashes in 4 months.
