"wine" is a Windows Emulator for Linux.  It won't run everything, but
it works reasonably well with MS Office tools.  wine is free and comes
with Red Hat Linux and Fedora, but you must install it.

"win4lin" is a commercial product that runs W98 under Linux.

"vmware" is a commercial product which allows you to run Windows and
Linux in two virtual machines simultaneously.
