I used to do this a lot when I first started using Linux to handle the few things that required Windows.
I second this suggestion (except I use Oracle's VirtualBox). VirtualBox and VMWare are two different virtualization systems that do the same thing. Before I tried it I didn't think it was worth the bother, now I love it and only boot into Windows for the few games I like that don't run under Wine or in a virtual machine.
