Try win4lin.  It lets you run windows as a window inside your GNU/Linux
environment.  Unlike VMWare and friends it is not a VM.  Also, unlike
WINE it actually works and works well.  It will even let windows use
(read/write) to your GNU/Linux file systems and such.  It is not free,
but neither is M$ Windows (so I assume you dont have a problem with
that) and it is by far the best way to 'suffer' M$ while not having to
'leave' a real operating system.
