You can always dual-boot, or do what I do and have two boxes connected to one monitor with a KVM switch.

I agree. I dual boot because I value my games and various non-Wine compatible programs, and it works well.

Alternatively, use Wine and PlayWithLinux.

I've seen a bunch of Linux users here remove all their panels and (presumably) make a larger right click menu to keep everything. Now, I can't seem to do it in Gnome, so what do you guys use?

Personally, I use dmenu (bound to WinKey+R in openbox config) for most of my app launching. That is when I don't already have a term. open. I guess it's about 50/50 between dmenu and something like "lowriter Final-Project.doc" from a terminal...
Yes, I'm a CLI dork: I don't even have a GUI file manager on Arch. mv(1), cp(1), and rm(1) FTW!

openbox does have a pretty nice menu system, but I only regularly use maybe a dozen gui apps...
dmenu's really nice, but takes a but of knowledge about scripting to get the full use out of. I've got a wallpaper switcher based on it :) WinKey+W and browse around.

+1 for Wine, never used PlayWithLinux though

+1 for using dmenu and openbox, I'm a dwm and dmenu user myself, I have literally no gui apps besides firefox and eclipse.

dwm... tiling right? I've heard a lot of love thrown in that direction, but never tried it.

Eclipse... it's a nice app, but I tend to prefer vim; admittedly I haven't worked on a really large project since I heard of Eclipse

my main GUI apps: chromium and pidgin... and this week GIMP... and qemu for school projects >_>

Two things:
1) Why can't I keep my desktop clean? I wish I had the sexy desktop my sister has. :(
2) Prepare for EYERAPE!
