One thing that I've found works for some people I know that have a need
to use Windows, is qemu running under Linux.  If you have a setup that
has accelerated video, you can use qemu full-screen and have it running
Windows, playing games and the like, while really running Linux.

That way if you really feel the need to drop into a game, you just
virtually boot Windows, and go from there.  When you shut down Windows,
you're right back where you started - in Linux.  :)
