There are two big groups of Windows usage:
* business - in the office
* consumer - at home

On the business side the driver are probably mostly about
integration.

Windows PC's with Edge, Outlook, Office and Teams works
with Active Directory, SharePoint, phone system, mobile
phones etc..

Too expensive and too risky to try and migrate that
to Linux based solution.

On the consumer side I expect drivers like:
- they know Windows
- they use Windows at work
- they have some old Windows programs that they like
- their PC came with Windows

The hassle of changing to Linux is not worth it given
how cheap Windows is for consumers.
