I boot into Windows on my primary desktop and use it most of the time, but I've been turning to a Linux Mint virtual machine for more and more of my programming projects. It just seems a lot easier to get up and running quickly in a Unix environment. I also recently purchased an Android tablet and will probably carry it around instead of a full laptop for doing remote server work and such.
