I'll tell you why right now.

No markup on free software, also the Linux boxes, along with some OS/2,
that I have installed, I hardly ever see, to the point I sometimes forget
the root passwd.  They just work, no call backs not repairs, no time and
materials charges.  Now the Winblows boxes need attention very regularly,
at least once a month, so there is plenty of billable time.

Thats the main reason right there.
