I do know people hate being tied to a sole source supplier. Which is a big reason people hate Microsoft.

So, why do they stick with the big, sole source supplier, Microsoft???

I'd have to say it's three things.

They need compatibility with the apps. OSX is twice the OS of windows, the issue is compatibility with apps, and flexibility of platforms.
