FWIW, you might want to check out Codeweaver's Crossover Office. I use it at home for those "windows only" apps and at work. Drawback is that you can't run MS project (like who'd want to?), or anything requiring Winsock like Windows Messenger.

Win4Lin only support Windows 98, not 2k, etc, the last I heard. Other than that there is VMware (which works very well, unless you upgrade the kernel).
