Run on my Mac as in "instead of Mac OS/X"? No. But run in a virtual machine? Yes. We have some corporate web apps that require Internet Explorer (shocking, I know), which is the only time I run a windows vm on my Mac. Or the occasional use of Visio. Other than that, I have all the apps I need to run as native Mac apps or they are web apps that don't require IE.
I do have several windows computers around the house. Those I'll upgrade to Windows 10. I have 2 of them on Windows 8.1 already. I'm about to revive a 4yr old creaky windows laptop. I'm putting in a 120gig SSD, Windows 8.1...my daughters will be thrilled that this "Daddy, this computer is so slooow" as it won't be slow anymore.
Just wiping the drive and reinstalling Windows would help a great deal. Yeah, that's a pain to do every few years, but it's a known issue. They only use it for Office and internet. The SSD will give it new life.
I only use linux as servers...running in virtual machines. I had it as my main OS on my development laptop for a year....there are just too many things that require windows (printers, scanners and the like).
