Does this install as an operating system on your laptop that you boot in to or as an application within XP or Vista? If its just an app on your computer then why wouldn't you just use your computer?
Yeah, I'm having a little trouble figuring out why you'd use this either.

Possible thoughts:

Tethering can be terribly slow in non-3G areas, so this might be a slightly better solution for mobile web browsing, especially if you can use a compressed browser like Opera 9.7

You could manipulate office docs on a computer without Office, although keeping a PC copy of OpenOffice Portable on the device is a better solution IMO.

GPS display on laptop?

Registry tweaking might be a little easier?

The best one I can think of: Testing and tweaking new mobile software from your desk without having to actually fiddle with the phone.
