Strike that. Reverse it!
Or Wine, if the apps you want work on it - the only Windows app I use is IE, and that just for testing.

Does that matter, though? At least 90% of the apps in the world suck. I care about the ones that don't.
As staunch said, I'd reverse it. I have two Windows VMs so I can put up with IE6 and IE7 when I have to (woo-freaking-hoo) - other than that I use them for nothing.
And above all I can run 90% of all the apps in the world (I'm guessing over 90% apps are for windows).
If you want to use Linux, run it in a VM on Windows; or use Cygwin for basic apps.
