Actually, there's a commercial program called VMware at http://www.vmware.com/
that supposedly allows you to run two operating systems at the same time. I
don't know if it's stable and fast enough to be worth using, but it sure
surprised the hell out of me when I saw a Win95 window within KDE running MS
Internet Explorer, in a screenshot on Mandrake's screenshot page. :)
