Win4Lin, which now supports Windows XP as a guest OS,
is cheaper than that. I think it supports almost any
Linux distro.

And Bill Gates' own Virtual PC 2004 is also cheaper,
but WinXP Pro must be the HOST OS. I've tried it but I
don't like virtual machines as well as multi-boot
native installations.

Crossover Office is inexpensive, and worth a try if
you only need to run a few popular Windows
applications.
