I was having a hard time when i tried to learn forex trading and so I switch to windows for about months since I can't make MT4 software work in wine. which software gave you headache that made you switch to windows as it has no alternative?

For leisure: games. There are some games (League of Legends for the longest time, Tribes: Ascend, etc...) that just won't run for one reason or another. For business use: Microsoft Word. Libre/OpenOffice tends to look pretty horrible in past experiences when opened up in Word. I know Office can run fine in WINE but I've ran into some cases where it was just better to use it in Windows.

For most cases though just using a virtual machine is sufficient enough for those times where WINE and Linux-variant softwares won't cut it.

LibreOffice is still a lot less intuitive than MS Word, especially when it comes to customed layers of bullets.

And the multi-language support (Chinese and English, to be precise) has been bad for all past versions. When more than one language exists in the same text, it tends to choke on the formats easily.
