There's wine, the windows emulator. It takes a windows application and
translates the calls it makes into something X can handle, so you can run
the app right in X. www.winehq.com

Then there's vmware and win4lin. Which are very different solutions than
wine. They allow you to run a full fledged Windows installation and Linux at
the same time. vmware has a trial version which is a good way to see if this
is what you want, www.vmware.com. win4lin has no trial version,
www.netraverse.com and I've never used it.

I can give my nod to vmware, I'm very satisfied with it. It has some quirks
and can be a pain to get configured and running the way you want. But once
it's up it's really nice.
