"The time I invested into Linux". I think this is a crucial difference. With linux any time spent in dealing with problems is an investment that can be built on and stays relevant to future releasea/versions and even side-ways onto different distros. With Windows it often seems to lead to a new dead-end.
I agree with the rest of the points especially about very much appreciating the community. Ubuntu does seem to get a bit of flak about not contributing to the wider linux community but i think it has a crucial role as gatekeeper/door-person/greeter/receptionist. It is the main distro that people first try or first settle with when they first try to migrate from Windows. I know a few people from Answers that have gone onwards to become developers and sometimes migrated upstream or to other distros. If it fulfills no other role i would say it has a crucial job in welcoming people into the gnu&linux/gnu&hurd/Bsd world. A role it almost shares with Chrome and Apple, for all their faults too.
