I am self employed so i don't have to conform to any stupid work policies.  I run Fedora Core 3 on  my desktop / server but due to having so many Windows users i run Windows XP pro, Windows server 2003 (domain controller) and Windows 98 all simultaneously under VM Ware on the aforementioned Linux box.  I have just picked up a cheap laptop and currently dual boot XP Pro and Debian sarge (very impressed with Debian by the way and once i have it setup just right, i will use this 99% of the time on the laptop only booting into XP to test hardware etc)
