So, I could use VMWare – But I would prefer something cheaper, largely due to my friends budget.  I saw a recent article where thanks to Intel, XEN will support Windows in 2005, but that doesn’t help me now.  In the meantime, what other alternatives exist to running Windows / Linux on the same box, to give me a working configuration similar to what I describe above ?

AFAIK, Xen will be able to support Windows only on Vanderpool-enabled CPUs.

Xen is currently unable to virtualize Windows without hardware support from the CPU. Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Plan9 can be virtualized since the source code is free, available and modifiable, and modifications to the source code are currently required to support a OS to be run under Xen.
