I didn't have time to read through all the other posts, so if some of my reasons are already listed and discussed, I'm sorry.

The reasons:

I like more than one mouse button.
I like the mouse wheel.
I like being able to turn off the comp with the power button.
I like being able to eject a cd without going through command list.
I prefer the way that windows looks.
I like having the standard system commands available no matter what program I have running(unless it's a game or other full screen program.)

And I know that many of you are going to think I'm crazy and an idiot for saying this, but I like having a system that doesn't work all the time and has problems.

I have an explanation for this last one. If the computer worked fine and had nothing go wrong with it, then I would never have any reason to go into the utilities and advanced commands. I would know a lot less about computers than I know now if I didn't have to deal with problems. I consider dealing with the various windows problems as part of learning about computers, it gives me hands on experience in learning part of how the operating system does what it does.
Although, sometimes the problems can just be a real pain in the ass and make me want to kill bill gates.
