I'm one of those people who is forced to keep Windows around because of my employer. Our VPN only works in Windows.
Some people have made Juniper Pulse Client work in Linux, even a co-worker has posted some instructions. But I already have a setup where I start the VPN client in a Windows VM and tunnel through it.
I feel like any Linux solution would take a lot of time to setup and might not be as robust.
Another reason I still need Windows around is we only support S/MIME encryption in the Outlook client. Part of this is because of how our internal IT configures the cert, there is a way to make it work in the webmail but our IT guys have either opted out of that or not gotten around to it.
That's pretty much it though. I can happily use Linux for 99.99% of my time.
