As a tech support person / system administrator, I often need to use the Windows
tools for maintaining domain accounts, or tweaking permissions on server
shares/files, etc, which can only be done from a Windows box. I also need it to
run Crystal Reports to generate some reports (but I hope to someday learn how to
access the MSSQL database and generate reports from Debian), and to run our
Windows-only helpdesk application (but the latest versions of WINE now run it,
but not without frequent backend-problem-causing crashes). So there are reasons,
but Windows is getting more and more irrelevant; yea!
