At work I actually run both. This has more to do with needing two
machines at the desktop then wanting two OSs. 

I sometimes do FPGA work which requires running pretty heavy apps on my
machine. Most of the time I use one of our servers to run the job, but
sometimes it's just easier to run it on the desktop. For that I use my
Windows machine. Why? Because the FPGA tools are windows only? Hehe,
nope, it's just I prefer using my linux machine, so when I have a job
that loads a machine for an hour I throw it on the Windows machine and
go ahead with my work on the linux machine! :)

I am the "go to" person for linux issues in my group, which is another
reason I like running an active copy at my desk, lets me look things up
or compare things very quickly.

Really the only apps that keep windows on my desktop are the PCB apps we
use. I'm sure there are linux versions of both by now, thing is I've
only see the windows versions available for install, hence the keeping
of the windows box. Otherwise I'd probably be running two linux boxes at
my desk! :)
