Major reasons include:

- They've heard of it.

- Everybody else is using it. (Easier to interact with clients, easier 
to find people who know how to use it, etc.)

- Because everybody else uses it, it gives some people the impression 
that it's the "correct" choice because that's what all the "big boys" use.

- Because it's so popular, there's a lot of software for it.

These arguments would all apply to /any/ product which has captured the 
majority of the market. And then, yes, there are a few things that MS 
product do that I haven't seen a comparable competetor for.
