All of which can be done with Crossover Office ($40 from the Codeweavers folks <http://www.codeweavers.com> ). Yes, you have to pay for it now. However, they are tied in heavily with the WINE project <http://www.winehq.org> which is true open source, and the WINE project just went beta. I've been using WINE for quite a while now to run some Delphi apps that I wrote that I don't feel like porting yet. Eventually I'll be doing everything in FreePascal since it's getting pretty close to being able to replace Delphi.
