I'm sure others will provide more options and details...

VMWare is a virtual PC that can run [basicly] any x86 operating system
on any other x86 operating system (I use it to run Windows XP under
Linux).

  http://www.vmware.com/

Wine allows x86 Windows .exe programs to run [almost] nativly under Linux.
Not everything will work, but Wine is supposed to have made alot of progress
over the last year.

And Bochs is another x86 emulator (thougt it's not as fast as vmware).
A few years ago I had win95 running under Bochs just fine.
