I think it just has to be accepted that unless Microsoft and Windows will dominate the commercial and home use markets for many years to come because it's now much too hard for companies and people to make the change: the costs in re-training and replacing hardware and legacy software would be unacceptable.
in fact the world is moving to the web and also to mobile platforms; Microsoft is off balance and vulnerable in both areas; the costs you mention are a requirement for businesses to compete anyway, so not a real impediment
