VMware

Stephen says:

David is right that vmware has become free (as in beer), you can download vmware server from here http://www.vmware.com/download/. I have used this commercially and seen it be be a reliable way to virtualize windows environments but I haven't seen it run Linux.

Xen is GPL, but I cannot comment about the quality of its support for Windows - the last I knew it only supported Linux, but having read just now this is no longer the case depending on your hardware.

Re. Media player which version of this do you require? Wine claims to have fairly good support for v9 (though ymmv installing it on Fedora). Presumably you've tried the usual suspects of Xine and VLC to see if they'll help you out?
