Because itīs a pain in the ass to reboot to another OS.
If you are happy with Linux, use Linux. If you are happy with Windows, use Windows. There should be no need to switch to another OS several times per day. It makes for example no sense to play games under XP and then reboot to Linux just because you want to use Internet. If you want to test an OS or need to develop things for another OS use VMware. |
Best plan - use both!
Both have their pluses and minuses. Both have a ton of software created for them. The best media player app in existance runs exclusevely on Linux for example. WIndows has the edge on software titles, but most things cost money on Windows where they are free on Linux. I'll quit here, but the point is - if you use only one OS, you are missing out!

PS. Dual booting is not a big deal - takes all of 15 seconds on a decently fast machine
