Windows is the wide use and commonly preferred by every one because of the compatibility it presents with other programs. you won't find a hard time looking for program support..
You think that is the reason Windows is widely used? I got a newsflash for you. Every single OS out there: Linux, Unix, OS X, all have compatible applications and all have applications that do everything a Windows box can do, perhaps aside from video games.
The only real reason Windows got so big, is their business model, not because they are a superior product. At one point in time MS was buying over 100 companies per a year. They just out did every company in business, made more money, had a better marketing plan, and they got lucky because it all happened during the tech boom.
If you would hit the reset button on it all now, and reset all marketing and knowledge on all computers and start to sell them, I do not think Microsoft would come out as good as they have it now.
