Chuck,
Would you be open to running a virtual Windows machine as a "guest" OS using Qemu?
You'll need to have plenty of RAM, and performance won't be the same as a native
install of Windows. But you won't have to shut down Linux to go into Windows. If
this sounds like it may work for you, check out http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/
Or, if you want a commercial package, check out win4lin Pro at http://www.win4lin.com/.
I had lots of fun playing around with Qemu on my laptop, with 512MB memory and a
1Ghz processor, but never got the performance to be usable...
