Honestly, having two computers has been the only way I can sanely function at work. We have to use Windows for at least one application. My solution has been to setup a second desktop (these are small towers), install Linux on it, and remote into the Windows from the Linux machine. Oddly enough, I can actually play some video games on the Windows machine through that remote session.

We replace computers two to three times per year; I get to pick from generally four-year old computers. I assume that a second computer is not an option for most at work.
