If you have a new Core Duo chip or a newer AMD one (not sure which AMD 
chips have the virtualization stuff in em') you can run Xen on it and 
then run any OS (including windows) in a domU natively (no evil Xen + 
windows = fun hacks).  I haven't tried this as I'm poor and don't have 
any hardware with built in virtualization stuff :(
