Do I?  No..
Could I?  Not currently...

I don't actually need any Windows apps, which is why I can use Linux as my main machine...
What I need is:
Cisco compatible VPN client for work.
RDP client.
SSH/FreeNX client (could use remoteX, VNC...)
Web Browser with Java/CSS support.

If I could do that with my Amiga, great.  But I don't expect to be able to with a classic Amiga..
Now, if something like Natami comes out with higher resolution and a good browser, I could see possibly doing it...  
Would I?  Interesting question...
Probably not totally, as the laptop is so flexible.  (I almost never use my desktop anymore, even tho it's faster..)
