Just buy Virtual PC. IT will let you run any native OS including : Linux,
Solaris, Dos,win311,95,98,XP,2000,NT,ME OS2Warp from your Windows desktop. Its
very easy to use and runs on top of the current windows OS. We use it here in
applications support to quickly switch between almost any OS (EXCEPT MAC) to
simulate users PCs immediately. It is literally  The same as running the OS you
choose on top of the hardware level, but without having to reboot.
