Well, it depends upon the layout of the keyboard. However, on my Toshiba I use it all the time, and also on my old HP.

I still used an old Gateway 124 AnyKey keyboard, off my 386sx 16Mhz(with aftermarket Math co-processor added later) on my current desktop computer. Since there was no Windows Key on there, I got used to Ctrl-Esc. I still use Ctrl-Esc out of habit on my new laptop.

No. Never. (And I'd still be using DOS if the relevant applications were written for it. :))
Regarding the 123 AnyKey keyboards, while I always disliked the ease whereby it was possible to accidentally slip into "program mode" with a single misstroke, those keyboards were really built to last. I know people who intentionally ran theirs thru the dishwasher ! (And they would work just fine afterwards).

I use Win+D, Win+E and Win+Pause quite regularly.

Re: Do you ever use the Windows key?
That thing is so useful. I use it for everything. I can almost browse entirely with my keyboard with all the shortcuts I know. But the shortcuts, I most use with the Windows key is win+m, win+d, win+e, and win+r.

Have a ThinkPad which means no Windows key.
Answer:
Re: Do you ever use the Windows key?
I have a Thinkpad, which means - no Windows key, but it's that crucial to me that I remapped right Alt to it.
I use it all the time.
Windows+D -> Desktop
Windows+Pause -> Computer Properties
Windows+R -> Run
Just Windows - Start menu
