Besides if a time comes when all the user needs is open source applications, it makes leaving windows all that much easier.
No it doesn't. At that point it is easier for someone to stay with Windows because they have all the applications they need. It has achieved nothing.

Developers spend a lot of time and effort porting applications to Windows in the vain hope that people will move to an alternative platform, and what happens? People continue to sit on Windows and use the same applications.
I'd say thats a good achievement, at least they are using an open source application.
