Working from home
You can connect to your WorkDESK database and work from home using
any of the
Remote Office hardware alternatives (Windows XP Pro Remote Desktop
connection,
Windows, Terminal Services, Citrix Metaframe). You can also access the
WorkDESK database using 'PC Anywhere' software - purchase separately).
So it sounds like you can use either of the free Microsoft Remote Desktop
Connection or CoRD to connect. (The equivalent of Timbuktu or Apple's
Remote Desktop)

Your connection needs to be through their VPN, so you'd need to know
what the connection details are. Namely the VPN server IP address and
the account name to use to log into it. Also, whether it's L2TP or
PPTP. You may also need a certificate from them depending on how it's
set up.
So, you could probably do it without resorting to
BootCamp/Parallels/VMWare, but you'd need some more info out of them
which may be more painful than just running Windows.
Have fun,
