For me, it's Battlefield 3. It's a couple years old now, but I just can't give it up. Why do you guys still hold on to your Windows partition?
Planetside 2, adobe stuffs, and starcraft 2 (is there a linux version? not sure)
Are you ready for a Miracle?

You could always get Office 365. Some of the features aren't there on the web version, but it works pretty well for me.

Adobe (photoshop, premiere) , P99 EQ1, retro gaming in general (i do use VM's to run most really old games so not really a valid point), laziness to find drivers, my new pc in September - October will probably be on Linux if my multi screen setup doesn't end up being a headache to setup.
I've never really spent a lot of time with photo or video editing programs, but are Adobe programs really that advanced to anything offered on linux?
Can't speak to video editing as I'm not well versed in that but when it comes to photo editing / image manipulation there really is no true replacement for Photoshop on Linux, or Windows, or OS X.
Really its not any sort of software keeping me on Windows. Its a lot of my tools I have a tablet monitor and a Mustek Large format scanner that have no Linux drivers. Its actually, one of the things I'd like to learn eventually how to maybe reverse engineer drivers for devices, if at all possible. So that way I can just make the jump over. Because all I use that stuff with is Manga Studio, GIMP, and Blender. I know Manga Studio works with WINE and the other two already work flawlessly with Linux.
Whoops, thought Lightroom was a video editing program haha. I have used GIMP a bit, but it can be awfully confusing, making easy tasks take forever.
MS-Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, keep me tethered to the Windows environment (and probably will continue to do so)
I did try Apache OpenOffice many years ago, and wasn't completely happy with it (at the time this programme may have lacked a 'developer tab')
oracle took it over it has slightly better compatibility by now
