I haven't tried it because we don't allow Windows around here, but
Coperative Linux looks promising (http://colinux.org/).  As I
understand it, you will still require administrator access to the
machine to install this, because it runs Linux inside a Windows
driver, to allow it to access ring 0.

Lotus Notes -- what a piece of crap.  I couldn't believe it when
someone showed me it running a few years ago.  What was going on with
the ugly non-standard UI?  The mail client looked and behaved like a
child had written it as a first BASIC project.
