Games are one thing that keeps people stuck on Windows so more games on Linux, either native or through API emulation, does potentially allow more people to consider the switch.

    It's often also professional software such as Photoshop or AutoCAD that keep them on Windows. Programs they use a lot all day for work.

    I would say that it's often not the same computer.

    Sometimes you want to do small things. Also people are frequently just use to what they are used to.

    If they use one OS at work, then they're likely to use the same OS at home.

    That's why all these companies invest so heavily into pushing their software at schools. Because people will stick to what they're used to.
