Dual boot? Skyrim is the one thing I miss from Linux, although there are mad people out there that make it work on Wine.
Seriously though, I remember dev work being a PITA on Windows. For example, for Ruby you had to install some kind of special Windows dev kit just to create a sane build environment, then random gems would just fail to install citing a lack of headers or whatever.
I still quite often encounter sizeable projects (such as rbenv or RVM) that simply refuse to consider supporting Windows. In that respect, hats off to npm for even trying.
