Me included.  Haven't done all that much other than added monitor and overclocked, etc.  Haven't used otherwise.  Sits in a box and am thinking about selling with case accessories along with the BeagleBoneBlack which is also loaded, including dust from the shelf.

If raspbian supports wine, you might try it.  You'd have to expose a COM or /dev/ttyUSBx port to the guest OS.  This might be a hassle, but once you get it working you'd probably be a hero to a bunch of Rasp Pians(hm... sic?).
