Personally, I have a few Windows virtual machines and an old, cheap Windows XP laptop around for those rare occasions as well as a Windows 7 dual boot install for .Net development.

I run a Linux VM in Windows on my desktop actually, but it's my gaming machine too. Last time I gave it a shot as a full install, I couldn't for the life of me get a brand new USB wifi adapter to work in Ubuntu.
