I imagine you're in the minority, running Windows as a developer in this community. A lot of the software and tools just don't play as nicely with something that isn't as tightly integrated with a shell.
Currently I'm running a Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on my desktop with two monitors (24" and 19"), and 10.04 64-bit on my laptop (mid-2008 model MBP with 8GB RAM). For a server I typically use my desktop for prototyping things for myself, and use a Linode server (again, running Ubuntu 10.04, but Server edition, rather than Desktop) to host things I want more reliable, consistent access to (blog, etc). Having consistency across my setup is pretty nice for making sure everything interacts well, both on my development machine and production instances.
I also run Ubuntu on my dual monitor lab machine. I'm an undergraduate student, but I do security research for the university part time with one of the professors.
