It's recently come up that there's things I can't do on Linux that work on Windows. Windows users don't really get Linux, but simply ask "If you insist on Linux, why don't you dual boot"?

It's a terribly difficult question to answer, especially to a Windows-only user. But, I think I may have come up with an analogy that works...

Dual booting is like having sex transformation surgery. There are inherit advantages and disadvantages to either sex, but really, someone who is truly comfortable with their current sex just really has no desire to change. You've learned to work with the advantages and disadvantages of who you currently are, and switching is more than just a little obnoxious. Especially if you know you'll want to go back later.

Linux, of course, is the male of the species. But, I think I'll stop the analogy there :-)
