VirtualBox can be useful as an easy virtualization platform. You
install VirtualBox, install Windows on it, and then open it to run those
Windows applications, especially if you can share the virtual machine
files (in your home directory, under VirtualBox by default, but you can
choose, during creation of the guest operating system, where to put it.
You would need a valid Windows key, and reasonably good hardware to do
that.
