I've still got XP running in a virtual machine.  It runs Corel suite, a 
specialist engineering program, and a 3D CAD package.

It is all fully integrated with the linux desktop in terms of file 
interchange.
It is purely a program launcher for the programs it runs. It has proved 
useful in the past to access banking websites that wouldn't work with a 
linux browser.
