Hi Norman, I run VirtualBox and have installed a working copy of
WindowsXP.  you can then install the windows application in the
windows machine.

You can either get it through the repositories; "sudo apt-get install
virtualbox-ose" or you can download it from www.virtualbox.org (better
to go with the open source edition via the repositories)
