That's the big picture - Until a good chunk of commercial developers
port these programs to Linux, there will always be Windows.

Once Linux gets to the point where hardware developers provide driver
sources, which makes it easy to "plug and play" stuff on Linux, it will
become MUCH more popular for home/business use. When you start seeing
Adobe/Macromedia/3DSMax making Linux ports (of their "big" apps - not
acrobat reader ;), you'll know things are looking up - fast.
