If you are looking for Widows OS-emulating software versions >1.0, you could always try out Wine on any Linux distribution of your choice. Runs a lot of Windows software in default config, and lots more if you tweak it a bit. If tweaking is not your cup of tea, or if you want to run Win32 games or a broader spectrum of Win32 programs in Linux, there are always the wine-derived Crossover or Cedega.
But really, according to the discussions re: "lets go to Midori"; if people really think that cutting the Win32 backwards-compatibility cord is the way to go, that can easily be done today by loading Linux and a using any of the huge number of Linux-native free programs that replace Microsoft equivalents. Oh, and it's free, too.
