Piece of cake, assuming you have a Windows license (or to be more precise, can install W2K or XP) . . .
Install VMWare's VMPlayer on top of your Linux distribution, and then install Windows in VMPlayer. Voila: Virtual OS. Then install and natively run any of the above apps in just another window on your desktop. The joys of Linux/Open Source, while accomodating that W$ app when you need it.
Great for gamers, too.
Just make sure you have adequate RAM.
