Run Windows inside Linux

Generally I doesn't like all MS products very much but Project Plan and Visio (dia - open source is an alternative but not so user friendly) seems to be very impressive to me. These are some of the great tools developed by MS team. Though I use Linux at work and at home full time but when it comes to creating a project plan and nice design and architecture diagrams, I prefer MS Project Plan and Visio resp. My laptop came preinstalled with Windows XP and a recovery disk for the same. Now, I am using VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) to run windows XP inside Linux. It is very easy to configure and gives you lot of features you would need to run and use windows easily inside Fedora Core 10 (distribution I am using) with 1.5GB RAM and 1.73GHz Intel 32bit processor.
