Practically every "corporate" employee where I work (a large oil/gas
services company), e.g., everyone that works in an office versus on an
oil rig, uses either a Cisco IP telephone or a "soft phone" running on a
Windows desktop along with a headset and microphone.  They've had this 
setup for at least 3.5-4 years now, and it works just fine without problems.

Saves a lot of money, too.  If I pick up the phone and call our Denver
office, the call gets automatically routed over our WAN data link.
