At work, I use a corporate laptop loaded with Windows XP Professional, a tightly controlled Office applications suite, several specialized applications and remote access tools for accessing Sun workstation based applications.  I work in the telecommunications industry, so some of these applications are network management systems.  If I work from home, I bring the same laptop home and use a VPN connection to access these applications.  It is a tightly controlled environment where file sharing between users is not encouraged, but we have access to several network based drives.

For home use, I use my OS4 system 95% of the time, E-UAE sometimes, Amiga 2000HD sometimes, QNX sometimes, Windows on rare occasions.

We have a KVM switch to allow the same keyboard, mouse and monitor to be used with my OS4 system and one of the pc's.

Wife uses Windows XP
Son uses Windows 7
We share a laptop with Windows XP

I use my OS4 system for all my web browsing and webmail. Unfortunately, some attachments are Word documents, so I have to use other means to read those attachments.

Our printer is not compatible with OS4, so I use one of the other systems for printing.

So far, I have only used Amiga Explorer and a USB stick for sharing Amiga files with one pc.  We also have some sharing set up between our laptop and one of the other pc systems.  Nothing fancy yet.
