"While the industry is distracted by the ongoing tussle between Microsoft and OpenOffice.org over document formats, the KDE project is quietly preparing the next generation of its own office suite, KOffice, for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. KOffice 2.0, to be released sometime in the first half of 2008, will be cross platform like many other applications in the KDE suite built with the Qt4 GUI toolkit."

I'm not going to attempt to pass this off as some sort of fact that I can prove, because I can't. But, I truly believe the number one reason people can't, don't or won't switch to Linux from Windows is the applications.
I think the better question is, "If all of the good applications are ported to Windows, what's to stop someone from moving away from Windows? None. That's what people like you don't get about this."
